The family of 19-year-old homicide victim Tanner Krupa of Edmonton is appealing to the public on the six-year anniversary of his death.

On August 20, 2017, at approximately 5 a.m., the Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a disturbance in the 6900-block of 127A Street in Surrey.

When they arrived on scene, frontline police officers found a 19-year old man, the victim of a stabbing, unresponsive.

Sadly, there was nothing they could do; the man had succumbed to his injuries, the RCMP said in a release.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team took conduct of the investigation and began working in partnership with the Surrey RCMP, the BC CoronerB次元官网网址檚 Service and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section.

Krupa, a recent graduate of EdmontonB次元官网网址檚 Archbishop OB次元官网网址橪eary High School, had began working as a directional driller while saving money for university, where he planned to study kinesiology.
