Ottawa police have charged a 29 year old man after a man fell to his death from a 16th floor apartment at 415 MacLaren Street on Monday night.
The body of Ahmad Afrah, 19, was discovered outside the apartment building.
Liban Gure has been charged with manslaughter and aggravated assault.
Ottawa police Staff Sergeant Bruce Pirt says investigating officers were suspicious.
"After looking at the matter in more detail, we determined and confirmed that it was a homicide investigation, and that it was not just a fall from the upper floors of that apartment building," Pirt said.
He added the victim "was not dead before he hit the ground."
It's Ottawa's third homicide of the year.
