IHIT says police officers and Emergency Health Services (EHS) found a man having sustained life-threatening injuries.
“First responders performed emergency first aid, but the victim did not survive. As a result of the nature of the injuries, IHIT took conduct of the investigation and continues to work closely in partnership with the Surrey RCMP, BC Coroner’s Service, and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section,” IHIT said in a release Friday.
IHIT is releasing the name and details of the victim in hopes to further its investigation.
“We’re urging anyone who knew Mr. James to contact IHIT,” Sgt. Timothy Pierotti said. “The investigation is still in its preliminary stages and we continue to build a timeline of
events and learn as much as we can about those involved.”
IHIT is asking that anyone who knows Mr. James, any witnesses, or anyone traveling in the area of 76 Avenue in Surrey between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. with dash cameras, to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
