The Ridge Meadows RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit initially attended, before calling in the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Mounties said it was too early to say if the death was linked to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.
Anyone with video from the area around 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning, or who witnessed anything unusual is asked to contact IHIT.
Investigators said the truck did not have a muffler and would have been very loud as it drove through the area.
