Man, 26, found dead in Chilliwack believed to be 'targeted for murder'

CHILLIWACK, B.C. - Homicide investigators are probing the death of a man whose body was found in Chilliwack, B.C., on Friday morning.

Officers with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team say the body of 26-year-old Jordan Smyth was found at about 7 a.m. in an open area near Sleepy Hollow Road.

They say first responders noticed his body had "injuries consistent with foul play."

Sgt. Frank Jang says in a news release that police knew about Smyth, and they believe that he was "targeted for murder."

But he says many aspects of the investigation are "still a mystery" — including a possible motive.

Police are asking drivers who were nearby on Halloween night and may have dashcam footage to come forward.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 2, 2019.
