RCMP have released surveillance footage and are asking the public to help identify three men seen with 21-year-old Clayton Dyer of Penticton who was found dead in October shortly after they were all caught on surveillance video.
The video was recorded in what appears to be the ground-floor lobby of an apartment building, according to an RCMP press release. The timestamp shows it was recorded at around 4:37 a.m., Oct. 10, 2021.
Dyer is among a group of four men in the 14-second video. He is seen walking in through the entrance, using a vape, pushing a button for the elevator and then first bumping one of the other men before they all enter the elevator.
“We are releasing a short surveillance video and photographs, in the hopes that someone can identify these men, who may have information about Clayton’s actions in the day(s) prior to his homicide,” RCMP Southeast District senior investigating officer Insp. Brent Novakoski said in the release.
