Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 22 Jul, 2024 04:50 PM

Homicide investigators say they want to speak with anyone who may know more about a 17-year-old who was found dead in Surrey last week.

Police say they’ve determined the death of Michael Zhao has no connections to the B-C gang conflict and it appears to be an isolated death.

They say Zhao was last seen leaving the Willowbrook Mall in Langley at around 9:45 on the night of July 19th, his mother reported him missing hours later and his body was found the next morning.

Police say they are trying to piece together a timeline of his movements between leaving the mall and 5:30 the next morning, and they want friends or associates of the teen to reach out to investigators.
