An incident outside a Kelowna nightclub last summer that led a man’s death, has now resulted in a charge being laid.
Matthew Reimer has been charged with manslaughter in the death of Nicholas Epp.
“Mr. Reimer has been arrested and will be brought before the courts within 24 hours of his arrest,” Const. Mike Della-Paolera said.
Epp died following an altercation outside Liquid Zoo in the 200 block of Lawrence Avenue on Aug. 12, 2022.
“The investigation remains ongoing and before the courts, therefore, no additional information will be released at this time,” the constable added.
Anyone who witnessed the event or have information related to it are asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP at (250) 762-3300 and reference file number 2022-50738.
UPDATE: Matthew Reimer appeared in Kelowna provincial court Aug. 9. His case was adjourned until Sept. 26, 2023 to allow time to consult legal counsel.
