Homicide investigators are renewing their appeal for tips, one year after a 31-year-old Surrey man was found dead in his home.

Police were called to Adrian Golofit’s home near 194 Street and 66 Avenue on the evening of Feb. 12, 2021, after a friend found him dead inside.

At the time, police described Golofit’s killing as a “mystery,” stating he was not known to police.

On Wednesday, police said they were still working to determine a motive in the killing, but had determined the attack was targeted and not random.
