A second man has now been charged in the 2022 homicide of Terry Miller.

On February 10, 2022, the Coquitlam RCMP responded to a report of a stabbing in the area of 228 Schoolhouse Street, in Coquitlam. On arrival, first responders found a 66-year old man suffering from stab wounds. The victim, later identified as Terry Miller, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. On February 22, 2022, Miller succumbed to his injuries. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the investigation and continued to work closely in partnership with the Coquitlam RCMP, the BC Coroners Service and the RCMP Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS).
