Richmond RCMP were busy dealing with a “brazen” Mothers’ Day homicide in a quiet residential neighbourhood on Sunday.
The incident happened around 2:45 p.m. on Granville Avenue just west of No. 2 Road. Inspector Keith Bramhill, regional duty officer for Lower Mainland District E-Division, told Global News police were called after a vehicle went off the road.

Police say indications at the scene suggested the person in the vehicle had died as a result of a homicide.
Granville Avenue will be closed in both directions for some time as authorities, including the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, investigate.

A suspect has not yet been identified.
