The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is on the case after a dead man was found in a small house Sunday evening in the 13500-block of 84 Avenue near King George Boulevard in 性视界传媒.

It鈥檚 the city鈥檚 first homicide of 2022.

性视界传媒 RCMP Cpl. Vanessa Munn said Monday that 鈥渋nitial evidence suggests that a shooting occurred at the residence in the morning, but went unreported until the victim was located.鈥�

The house is behind yellow police barricade tape.

鈥淭he area surrounding the scene will be cordoned off for a significant amount of time, which includes a road closure on 84 Avenue both directions between King George Boulevard and 135A Street,鈥� she said. Police have yet to identify a suspect.

Meantime, crimes of violence in Whalley have been keeping the 性视界传媒 RCMP busy this week.

A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries but is in stable condition after he was stabbed in the 10200-block of City Parkway at about 10 p.m. Friday. 鈥淭hose injuries were determined to be not life-threatening,鈥� Munn said Monday. 鈥淭he initial evidence that we鈥檝e collected so far shows that the parties are likely known to each other as well as known to police.鈥�

She said police are expecting charges will be laid 鈥渋n the near future.鈥�

About two hours after that stabbing, another man was stabbed inside a residence in the 12700-block of 98 Avenue. He was taking to hospital with injuries that weren鈥檛 considered to be life-threatening.

鈥淭he parties involved are known to each other and a suspect has been identified,鈥� Munn said. 鈥淚t was not a domestic. Charges have been recommended.鈥�

Last Thursday, a woman was stabbed in the 10400-block of 140B Street and taken to hospital, where she was last reported to be in stable condition.

鈥淭here鈥檚 no connection between any of them, they all have very individual motives behind each one it seems,鈥� Munn said of the stabbings. Thursday鈥檚 victim鈥檚 injuries were not life-threatening.

鈥淲hen she was transported to hospital it was determined that she was suffering from stab wounds as opposed to what we initially thought to be gunshot wounds.鈥�

Since IHIT took over investigating homicides from the 性视界传媒 RCMP鈥檚 serious crimes section in June 2003 it has to date cleared 144 of the total 257 homicide cases it has investigated in 性视界传媒. That is a clearance rate of 56 per cent.

These cases, IHIT told the Now-Leader, 鈥渉ave been cleared by charge, recommended charge, or cleared otherwise.鈥�
