Gerald Lawrence, 76, was found with obvious traumatic injuries at an apartment on Queenston Road in Hamilton on September 29, 2019. A post-mortem examination determined he died of stab wounds; police treated the death as a homicide. Reports say Lawrence was known as Gerry, had worked at Dofasco for many years, and was a father of three and a grandfather.

After about a year of investigation, Hamilton Police arrested 48-year-old Sandro De Oliveira of Hamilton in October 2020 and charged him with second-degree murder. Police said De Oliveira and Lawrence were known to each other and that drugs were a factor in the incident. The family expressed gratitude to police for their work.

What information can anyone with knowledge of Lawrence, his last movements, or the people in his circle share to help clarify what happened?
