Kamloops RCMP investigating suspected homicide at motel
CBC
Kamloops RCMP are investigating after they found a man shot dead in a motel room early Friday.
Cpl. Crystal Evans with Kamloops RCMP said that officers went to a motel near the 2500-block of Trans Canada Highway East just after midnight following a report of a person who had been shot. Police found a deceased man in one of the rooms, RCMP said.
"Although very early in the investigation, preliminary observations suggest the shooting was not random," Kamloops RCMP Supt. Jeff Pelley said in a news release.
"At this time, it's too early to speculate on a motive or if it's related to any other investigations currently occurring."
