When they arrived, at around 1 a.m., they found a "deceased male." They have not said whether the deceased was an adult, nor have they said whether he had gunshot injuries or provided any further information.

The Coquitlam RCMP said officers secured the area, and that the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken conduct of the case, suggesting the death appears to be a homicide.

Officers asked the public to contact IHIT (1-977-551-4448) if they have surveillance camera or dash-cam video.
