Police have identified the man found dead inside a rural home in Mission, B.C., last month as 38-year-old Trevor Ronald Sanderson and are treating his death as a homicide.
Officers received a phone call alerting them to the deceased man's body on June 28 and after investigating the scene they concluded that his murder was targeted.
Sanderson was killed in his home on Keystone Avenue where police say they found evidence of the marijuana trade.
The RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is asking local residents to think back to the weeks before Sanderson was murdered and contact police if anyone remembers anything out of the ordinary.
"It's our view that that rural area where the homicide occurred, a strange vehicle or someone loitering about the neighbourhood would stick out like a sore thumb," RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dale Carr told ctvbc.ca.
"They may not have thought it was anything untoward when they saw it initially, but now that there's been a homicide they may realize, ‘Oh, maybe that's connected.'"
