An autopsy is expected to reveal the cause of death of two men who were found on a rural road in Abbotsford, B.C., Friday
As members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) try to piece together how the two teens died, CTV News has learned their identity.
They are Dilsher Gill and Joseph Randay, both of Abbotsford.
City workers found the bodies on the Sumas First Nation reserve at around 9:00 a.m., Friday. They were slumped inside an abandoned blue Mazda compact. Both are believed to be 18 years old.
"We expect there will be an autopsy on Monday,'' said IHIT spokesman Cpl. Dale Carr. "And once that autopsy is done, we expect it will be able to help us with the manner of death -- the type of death these individuals went through."
Randay's parents are so distraught that they are barely able to express their grief.
"He was a really good kid, bright kid, said Parmjeet, Randay's mom.
"We're really torn apart,'' she said.
The incident began at Bateman Park, just a few kilometres from where the two were found dead. Randay and Gill were hanging out with some friends. It was only 6:00 p.m when someone took them at gunpoint.
The one thing police can say for sure is that Randay and Gill did not have criminal records. Next month the two were due to graduate from high school.
"We've got to get to the bottom of this, this is unacceptable,'' said Carr.
There have been 21 confirmed shooting deaths in the Vancouver area since mid-January, though not all have been conclusively tied to gangs.
