According to a Edmonton police news release Friday, on Sept. 25, 2022, northeast officers responded to a stabbing at the Edmonton Institution. It was reported that Nicholas Job, 32 was stabbed during an altercation. He was treated and transported to hospital by emergency crews with serious injuries.
Job survived the stabbing and was released from hospital days later and returned to Edmonton Institution, police said. He was later released from prison on Nov. 4, 2022.
On Nov. 25, 2022, city police officers responded to a home invasion call in the area of 97 Street and 109 Avenue. Upon arrival, police said officers located Job who had been shot and assaulted. Emergency crews treated and transported Job to hospital with serious injuries. On Jan. 8, 2023, he died in hospital.
At the time, no charges were laid in relation to the home invasion or the stabbing.
An autopsy conducted by the Edmonton Medical Examiner on Jan. 11, 2023 determined the cause and manner of death was inconclusive and needed further examination and testing.
Several months later, in August 2023, the medical examiner confirmed Job died as a result of the stab wound sustained in the previous altercation at the Edmonton Institute in Sept. 2022. His manner of death was deemed a homicide and the EPS homicide section took over the investigation.
On Feb. 7 and Feb. 8, Christian Joffree Ouelette, 26 and Wacey Dillon Boudreau, 30 were each charged with second-degree murder in the death of Job.
Both men were incarcerated at the time of their arrests, police said.
“Due to the circumstances surrounding Mr. Job’s death, the cause and manner were ambiguous, and it was initially suspected his death was caused by a separate and unrelated non-criminal incident,” said EPS homicide section Staff Sgt. Colin Leathem, in the news release.
“While extensive testing can delay investigations, we are thankful for the medical examiner’s thorough work in this case, as it enabled us to pursue a criminal investigation and confidently charge those responsible for his death.”
