Maple Ridge murder

There’s no indication of a gaybashing in Saturday’s Maple Ridge murder, says Corporal Dale Carr of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

William Ryan Bygrove, 27, was found dead, partially clothed in a park parking lot in the 13100 block of 210th St in Maple Ridge, Nov 3. Carr says police are still trying to determine what happened, but there’s no indication it was a gaybashing or that the victim was gay. “It’s not even on the horizon,” he says.

Police are still looking for three other half-naked men seen running through traffic the night before Bygrove’s body was found.

“If anybody has any information about how William Bygrove ended up at that park in the manner that he did, please call 1.866.373.7886,” Carr says.
