To further the investigation, IHIT is identifying the victim as Michael Kashani of Langley.

“Mr. Kashani was 36 years old at the time and his death has left a void in his family and community, said Fong. “We believe someone out there may have information about Mr. Kashani’s death and we are interested in speaking with them.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-4448 or email [email protected].
