ABBOTSFORD, B.C. - Homicide investigators have been called after an assault turned deadly in Abbotsford, B.C.

Police say they were called to the parking lot of a large shopping mall in central Abbotsford at about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.

An unnamed man was found with life-threatening injuries and was treated in hospital but died a short time later.

The victim has been identified but his name is not being released pending next of kin notification. The victim is 41-years old and from Abbotsford with no connection to gangs. 

This is believed to be an isolated incident.
