Victim of third Lower Mainland homicide in 24 hours identified as 27-year-old Chilliwack man

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was deployed to Chilliwack Thursday afternoon, marking their third investigation in 24 hours.

Investigators said they were responding to a fatal shooting in the 46000-block of Yale Road, which left one person dead.

IHIT identified the victim as 27-year-old Kyle Cromarty of Chilliwack. Cpl. Frank Jang said Cromarty was likely targeted, while adding it is still early in the investigation.

It was the third deployment in the past 24 hours for IHIT.

Police were called to a home on Westminster Highway in Richmond just after midnight, after a woman’s body was found in what police describe as suspicious circumstances.
