Vancouver police are investigating the new year’s second homicide after a man was found dead in a South Vancouver parkade Saturday night.

Police say a passerby found the victim dead inside a vehicle parked under the Marine Gateway complex near SW Marine Drive and Cambie Street just before 8:30 p.m.

A large police presence descended on the complex to investigate, closing off access to the parkade until Sunday morning.

Police were seen speaking with drivers as they exited the parking lot which was later taped off by officers.
