Homicide team called to Langley after man found dead
For the second time in as many days, police in Metro Vancouver are at the scene of what appears to be a targeted shooting. Langley RCMP and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team have cordoned off a large area along rural 224th Street after one man was found dead. Andrea Macpherson has the latest – Feb 10, 2022

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called to Langley, B.C., Thursday morning after a man died.

RCMP officers were first called around 1:30 a.m. to the 1800 block of 224 Street after receiving a report of a man down.

When police arrived, they found a deceased adult man.

Based on the investigative theory in this initial phase, this does not appear to be a random act, Langley RCMP said.

Police are currently gathering evidence but said 224 Street had been closed between 16th and 24th avenues.
