Seven years after a 26-year-old man was found dead in his Surrey home, homicide investigators and the victim’s family are urging those with information about the killing to come forward. Bradley Kline was found dead just after 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 7, 2018, The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said in a public appeal Monday. “After an assessment of the scene by the Surrey RCMP, it was determined that Mr. Kline had suffered from injuries consistent with criminality,” the statement said. Although the investigation has made progress by “piecing some of the details together” and identifying “suspects involved in the murder,” no one has been charged in the case. IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Freda Fong said there are people who have crucial information who have not yet come forward. “It is not too late to do the right thing,” she said, in the statement. In 2019, IHIT issued a similar appeal. At the time investigators described Kline’s killing as targeted but unrelated to the gang conflict of the drug trade. Kline’s family said, in a statement, they continue to mourn his life being cut short so suddenly and tragically. “We’ll never know who he might’ve been in life, or what future he might have built,” the statement said. “After seven long years with no justice, our hope is fading. We are asking the people who know the truth to come forward, so we can finally give Bradley the justice he deserves.” Anyone with information is urged to call the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-4448 or to send an email to ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
