Nicholson lived in Cool Aid’s Crosstown housing facility at Douglas and Burnside, formerly the Tally Ho Motel.
The victim of a fatal stabbing Tuesday night on Douglas Street near Burnside Road has been identified as Oliver Nicholson.
A Cool Aid spokesperson confirmed Nicholson was the man killed in a stabbing just before midnight Tuesday in the 2900 block of Douglas Street outside Palagio Pizza. In April 2022, Nicholson was the victim of a vicious attack inside a suite in the housing facility. Nicholson was addicted to methamphetamine and owed his dealer $190 for drugs he purchased for his girlfriend at the time, according to an October 2023 B.C.
Several people, including his dealer, his former girlfriend and her new boyfriend, participated in the attack, confining Nicholson in a room where they duct-taped him to a chair and beat him, lighting his shoulder on fire and branding him with a hot coin, according to the judgment. Police called Nicholson’s death an isolated incident and said there is no ongoing risk to the public.
No arrests have been made. The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit is investigating and asked anyone with information about the stabbing to share it with investigators by calling 250-380-6211.
