Murder investigators have identified the body found Monday morning at a business on River Road.
Alex Renney, 20, of Surrey, was found dead about 6 a.m. on Monday by an employee arriving for work on River Road, between No. 6 and No. 7 roads.
According to the police's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), Renney was last seen Sunday night.
Sgt. Stephanie Ashton, IHIT's media relations officer, said investigators are still trying to narrow down the timeline of Renney's last movements and who he was in contact with prior to his death.
IHIT previously said the death was targeted and was not the result of a random attack.
Richmond RCMP were called to the 14,000-block of River Road, near Valmont Way, after an employee of the business made the discovery. It's not clear how long the body had been lying there.
IHIT is asking anyone who may have information to call the IHIT tipline on 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email at [email protected].
