Police have arrested three men and identified the man stabbed to death in the Mission Monday afternoon as 26-year-old David Leggat.
Police said they arrested one man shortly after the stabbing and two more on Tuesday. No charges have been filed.
Officers and paramedics responded shortly after 3:30 p.m. Monday to a report of a man suffering from stab wounds in the 7200 block of Park Street.
Emergency first aid was administered, but the man died from his injuries, according to a statement from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
The homicide appears to be an isolated incident, with no ties to Lower Mainland gang conflict, said RCMP Sgt. Timothy Pierotti.

RCMP say they are awaiting a search warrant for a residence in Mission, but are identifying the victim in case the public has information that could assist their investigation.
“We urge anyone who knew Mr. Leggat to speak to the police,” Pierotti said. “Witnesses are asked to contact IHIT or attend the Mission RCMP detachment.”
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident or dash cam video from the area as of Monday afternoon to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551- 4448.
