Police link B.C. homicide victim to grow op

VANCOUVER – Police in Langley say the shooting death of a 25-year-old man appears to be related to a marijuana grow operation.

Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says two men found Cory Kelly in a vehicle Friday night.

She says Kelly was transported to hospital but was pronounced dead.

Pound says the shooting does not appear to be gang related.

She says investigators believe it was a result of an attempted break and enter to a residence that police say contained a grow operation.

She said investigators are conducting interviews and are surveying the scene.

Police are asking anyone with information on the shooting or break and enter to speak with investigators.
