Police in Ridge Meadows are investigating a homicide.

Officers were called to the 20000-block of Wharf Street, beneath the Golden Ears Bridge, by fire crews shortly after 11:30 a.m. for a report of a deceased person.

Investigators arrived to find an adult male who appeared to have been the victim of a homicide.

“The investigation is in its infancy, however early indications are that the man's death was targeted,” Sgt. Janelle Shoihet said in a news release.

CTV Vancouver is reporting that the victim is known to police.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called and will be working the case with the local RCMP detachment.
