Investigators say the Abbotsford Police Department responded in late January to a report of a man being assaulted before being taken away in a vehicle.
Police say the victim was located three hours later with severe injuries and died in hospital just days later.
Investigators have said they believe this to be a targeted assault and not related to gang activity.
