Landscaping business owner killed in home invasion, family says

A woman from British Columbia's Lower Mainland was killed during a violent home invasion last weekend, according to her grieving family.

Multiple loved ones have identified Tori Dunn, the owner of Dunn Right Landscaping Services, as the victim of a devastating crime Sunday.

In a statement shared on social media, the family said they “could not understand how someone as kind as Tori could be the victim of such senseless violence.”

“Tori was loved by everyone she met,” it reads. “She devoted her time and love to her friends and family, (and was) someone who lit up the room with her smile and laughter. She is loved more than words.”

B.C.'s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team did not respond to multiple requests for comment on the case from CTV News on Tuesday.

Authorities previously confirmed that a woman was killed at a house in the Port Kells area of ​​Surrey on Sunday evening.

The victim was found suffering from life-threatening injuries at a property on 182A Street, near Parsons Drive, and later died after being rushed to hospital.

Surrey RCMP said officers were able to locate and arrest a suspect in the area the night of the incident.
