A body found in Surrey on Oct. 14 has been identified as 19-year-old Tichic Meya, who had been reported missing by his family on Oct. 11, says the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

Around 1:07 p.m. on Oct. 14, Surrey Police Service (SPS) were called to the 6100 block of 156th Street where they found Meya’s body.

SPS believed the death was the result of criminal activity and IHIT was called in to investigate. 

Police are now releasing Meya’s name and picture to see if they can get more leads in the case.

Meya was last seen by family on Oct. 8. His family stated that it was unusual for him to not be in contact for days.
