Port Kells homicide victim identified as 30-year-old Surrey woman

Investigators have identified the victim of a homicide in Surrey, British Columbia as 30-year-old Tory Dunn.

Four days after his death, homicide detectives continue to scour the Port Kells area, searching for witnesses and CCTV to advance their investigation into a crime they have called “senseless.”

Investigators say Surrey RCMP were called to a residence near the 9800 block of 182A Street around 10 p.m. PT on Sunday and found Dunn with life-threatening injuries.

Dunn was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, where she died from her injuries despite the efforts of first responders. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was called in to take over the investigation.

IHIT says a suspect was located and taken into custody after the area was searched by police and police dogs. The suspect remains in custody on an unrelated charge that has not been identified by IHIT.

In a statement, IHIT said Dunn's identity was being released to further the investigation and that the homicide investigation remained active and ongoing.

IHIT is working with Surrey RCMP, British Columbia Coroners Service and Integrated Forensic Identification Services on the investigation.

“Our hearts go out to Tory’s family and the community,” said Staff Sgt. David Lee of IHIT.

“We are committed to moving this investigation forward to determine all the circumstances surrounding this senseless act.”

Investigators are asking anyone with dashcam or surveillance video in the area around the 9800 block of 182A Street in Surrey to contact IHIT.
