WATCH: IHIT is looking into the targeted murder of 32-year-old Sukhpreet Grewal who was found dead inside his house. As Julia Foy reports, investigators say the killing was not random but will not say if it was gang-related – Jul 21, 2018

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has identified the victim of a homicide as 32-year-old Sukhpreet Grewal.

Cpl. Frank Jang of IHIT says around 12:40 p.m. on Friday, a family reported one of their members missing to the Abbotsford Police Department.

Police arrived at the missing person’s home in the 3100-block of Consort Court and found Grewal dead inside.

“From what the officers observed, their preliminary observations once they were inside that home they determined that this wasn’t just natural cause of death, something went awry, there was foul play involved,” Jang said.
