ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — A 31-year-old man found dead in a field in Abbotsford, B.C., last Sunday has been identified as an Edmonton resident.

Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says Jimmy Chau was known to police and his killing appears to be a targeted, gang-related murder.

She won’t reveal the cause of the death but says an autopsy has shown his injuries were consistent with a homicide.

No one was been arrested in the killing.

Pound says investigators are asking anyone with information about the death to come forward.
