City police are naming the suspect in yesterday’s homicide at Casablanca Apartments.
37-year-old Nicholas Joseph Necan is facing charges including second degree murder and assault with a weapon, in relation to the death of 60-year-old George James Gerard.
Gerard died in hospital yesterday afternoon, from injuries suffered during an assault.
They add Necan wasn’t a resident of the Simpson Street apartment building, but is believed to have loosely known Gerard.
