Investigators are, however, asking for any witnesses or those with dashcam footage to step forward.
Specifically, the VPD are looking for a Tesla that they believe is equipped with factory video surveillance. The vehicle was reportedly parked inside the parking garage at 452 SW Marine Drive between 6 to 8:30 pm.
“This incident happened in a very public, busy area,” says Constable Tania Visintin, VPD. “We believe several people may have video from their vehicle or information that could help detectives solve this homicide.”
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the VPD’s homicide unit at 604-717-2500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
This is the city’s second homicide of the year.
