Events Leading to the Fatal Incident
Victor was last spotted on the fourth floor of the building in the company of several women, before being discovered motionless on the ground floor. Investigators believe he either fell or was pushed from the upper floor while in the company of a group of youth.
Surveillance footage reviewed by police shows several young women entering and exiting the apartment complex repeatedly. Shortly after, an Uber vehicle is seen arriving at the premises and later leaving.
CCTV Footage Reveals Hospital Admission
The Uber was later traced to Jesse Kay Hospital, where Victor was admitted at around 3:47 a.m. CCTV captured a young man rushing into the hospital reception with blood-stained clothing, accompanied by two others, including the Uber driver.
Police reports describe the man as a “good Samaritan,” though CCTV showed he appeared uneasy while at the hospital. Hospital staff contacted authorities after confirming Victor’s death.
