Police said there is no direct link to an earlier incident in Langley.

Around 10:30 a.m. Sunday, RCMP were called to the 23700 block of 72nd Avenue, where a male victim was found suffering from severe injuries.

Despite the best efforts of first responders, the victim succumbed to his injuries at the scene soon afterwards, and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took over the investigation.

IHIT identified the victim as Burnaby resident Robert Keith Green. Investigators believe Green, who has a criminal record, was a member of Hell’s Angels.

The motive of the homicide is currently unknown and police are encouraging witnesses of the homicide to come forward.
