Homicide investigators say they have confirmed the identity of 19-year-old Tichic Meya, whose body was found by police on Oct. 14 in Surrey.
The Story
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says it has confirmed the identity of a man found dead in Surrey under suspicious circumstances last month.
In an IHIT statement, police said 19-year-old Tichic Meya was reported missing by his father three days before his body was located by the Surrey Police Service on Oct. 14.
Investigators said Meya was last seen by his family on Oct. 8, and family members reported it was unusual for him to lose contact for several days.
IHIT said based on initial observations at the scene—on the 6100 block of 156 Street—criminality was suspected, and investigators are working to develop a timeline of events from when Meya went missing.
While the motive remains under investigation, IHIT said it believes the incident was isolated and that there is no ongoing risk to the public. The team asked anyone with information to contact them.
