A residential street in Abbotsford is behind police tape this morning and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been called in.
Police were called to the 2300-block of Cameron Crescent, near Old Yale Road, around 1:45 a.m after a neighbour called about a “suspicious circumstance.”
A black Labrador was also spotted running loose in the neighbourhood.
An unresponsive man was found in the garage. Few other details about the victim are being released at this time but police confirm it is a homicide.
Cst. Ian MacDonald with the Abbotsford Police says it is too early to determine if this incident was targeted or random.
“What I would say is that if we do look at Abbotsford history, the vast majority of homicides that we have incurred have been targeted in nature,” he said. “Time will tell if we are to put this in that category as well.”
Police say there are no suspects in the case and Abbotsford Police major crime detectives and IHIT are joining together in the investigation.
