On July 20th, at approximately 7:00 p.m., Langley RCMP was called to the 8200 block of 197 Street after a report of a vehicle fire was received. Once the fire was extinguished, a body was located inside the burned red Ford F-150 pickup.

The area surrounding the scene will be cordoned off for a significant amount of time.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has assumed conduct of the investigation and has not determined at this time if the event is linked to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
