Hamilton police are trying to piece together the circumstances that led to the city’s sixth homicide of 2017.
Police were called around 3:30 a.m. to the Coco Bongo Lounge located at 303 York Boulevard, Sunday morning.
When they arrived they found a man with life threatening injuries.
The man, who is in his 30’s, was rushed to hospital but police say he was later pronounced dead.
