KAMLOOPS — The body of a young man was found in the shared parking lot of St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Tk’emlups Health Clinic, and Tk’emlups Church on Saturday (Jan. 29).

The Southeast District Major Crime Unit (SED MCU) says evidence found near the body links him to a black 2014 Honda Accord located on Dallas Drive at Lafarge Road in Kamloops.

“Police are asking anyone who might have dash cam video from the Chilcotin Road area to Lafarge Road at Dallas Drive in Kamloops from the afternoon of Jan. 28 until the morning of Jan. 29 to contact investigators,” Southeast District Senior Investigating Officer and Inspector Brent Novakoski says. “An extensive video canvass of areas related to this investigation is being conducted in hopes that investigators will be able to confirm a timeline of events to further this investigation.”

The SED MCU “E” Division Serious Crime Unit, Forensic Identification Service, Police Dog Service, Kamloops Detachment Serious Crime Unit and General Investigation Services Team, and Tk’emlups Rural Detachment members are all actively engaged in assisting with the investigation. The BC Coroner’s Service is also conducting a concurrent investigation.
