The scene of the double stabbing is cordoned off Saturday evening

An 18 year-old man was stabbed to death Saturday night in the 6500-block of Mang Road, near Granville Avenue and Gilbert Road, according to police.

The incident, labelled by police as a "dispute," has sparked the city's third homicide investigation for 2014.

The RCMP Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Tuesday it is still seeking a motive for the death of David Lee, whose family has been notified of his death.

Lee was stabbed around 7:30 p.m. and Richmond RCMP responded to the area, cordoning off both Mang Road and adjacent Comstock Road to the north.

Lee was taken to hospital but died less than an hour after the attack.

According to IHIT, a second male was injured during the incident as a result of falling down. Media had initially reported a second stabbing.

Lee had no criminal record and police have made no arrests and have no suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448, or, to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
