Homicide investigators are trying to put together a timeline of a Langley teen’s movements in the night before he was found dead under suspicious circumstances.
Wenyan Michael Zhao, 17, was found dead near 179 Street and 98 Avenue in Surrey around 5:30 a.m. on July 19.
He’d left his family home in Langley around 9 p.m. the night before and was reported missing around 2:30 a.m.
On Monday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said Zhao’s death is being treated as an “isolated incident” with no connections to the B.C. gang conflict.
