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 – Feb 10, 2022

Homicide investigators have identified the man found dead in Langley on Thursday as 57-year-old Sarbjeet Sander.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Friday it does not believe Sander’s killing was random, nor was it linked to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.

Police were called to the 1700 block of 224 Street around 1:30 a.m. Thursday morning, where they found Sander dead.

Investigators are looking to speak with anyone who was in the area at the time who saw or heard anything unusual, or who knew Sander personally.
