Investigators have identified the victim as 34-year-old Matthew Neely of Surrey.

They say that the death appears to have been isolated and may have stemmed from a verbal dispute.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the case, and police are urging anyone with information — including those who had contact with the victim recently — to contact them.
