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.
Police are also asking for any video shot on 224 Street between 16th Avenue and 40th Avenue between 11 p.m. on Wednesday and 1:30 a.m. on Thursday.
