ABBOTSFORD, B.C. - Police have identified the victims of a double homicide in Abbotsford, B.C., as two high school teens just weeks away from graduation.
The Integrated Homicide Investigative Team said Joseph Randay, 18, and Dilsher Singh Gill, 17, were found dead in a car Friday morning.
The cause of death has not been released but autopsies are scheduled for this week..
Police say neither man was known to police.
"Our investigators are attempting to reconcile how two young men that were weeks from high school graduation ended up with this fate, it's truly tragic" Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesman for IHIT, said in a statement released Saturday.
Carr said there had been no link established to drugs, gangs or organized crime.
There have been 21 confirmed shooting deaths in the Vancouver area since mid-January, many of them linked to an ongoing gang war in the region.
However, investigators have linked the murders to an incident in a city park the night before the bodies were found, where two teens were reportedly forced into a vehicle at gunpoint.
"IHIT investigators are working together with Abbotsford Police to establish what went on in the park," said the statement from police.
