Police are asking for the public’s help in their investigation of a homicide in Maple Ridge, B.C., over the weekend.
Ridge Meadows RCMP and firefighters responded to a truck fire just after midnight on Saturday.
When the flames were extinguished, a body was found inside the truck. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called in to investigate.
Police said the truck was an extended cab black Chevy Silverado. It may not have had a muffler and would have been very loud as it drove through Maple Ridge and the surrounding areas.
