The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has identified the young man murdered in Maple Ridge earlier this month.
Police are asking those who knew Edi Bogere-Nyigwo to come forward.
The body of the 24 year old was found in a vacant, forested property in the 24500 block of Lougheed Highway on January 11.
He was last seen leaving his Coquitlam home at 7 p.m. on Dec. 27, 2019.
Police say there are no indications to suggest the killing of Bogere-Nyigwo, a talented young soccer player, is linked to any gang conflict.
IHIT Sgt. Frank Jang says police don’t believe his death was random and they think there are still people with important information who have yet to come forward.
Police say Bogere-Nyigwo was a member of Coquitlam’s Sparta SC U-18 squad that won the Canadian National Championship, and say friends describe him as someone who avoided trouble.
