A body spotted in an Abbotsford field by a passing motorist has been ruled a homicide, investigators said Monday.
Homicide investigators said the victim was a man, aged 20 to 30. They hope an autopsy Monday will reveal the man’s identity and the cause of his death.
“It’s too early to say whether this is gang related or a targeted killing,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokeswoman for the integrated homicide investigation team.
“At this point the priority is to identify the deceased and confirm the cause of death.”
The body was spotted by a motorist Sunday in a field the 33600 block of Farmer Road.
