The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over a case in Maple Ridge in which one person has died.
First responders were called to 238th Street and 110th Avenue at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Monday after people reported hearing a woman screaming.
Shortly after arriving, a first responder could be seen doing chest compressions on someone in the garage of the home.
The homicide team said in a release that RCMP first responded to a fight in progress at the home and when they arrived, they found a man in medical distress.

Sgt. Freda Fong with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) told Global News that the incident is not gang-related or extortion-related.
“I’m unable to confirm the relationship, if any, between the suspects and the victim,” she added.
“We are determining everyone’s involvement and the role they play in this incident. What’s important is that they’re known to each other, and that this appears to be an isolated incident, and at this time, we’re also not in a position to confirm whether or not police have been to the location in the past.

Neighbour Erin Kelly told Global News that police have been called to the home before.
“The police showed up really quick so I assume maybe they’d been already called, knowing something was going down,” she said.
“They were here earlier this week, too, so unfortunately, it got a lot worse this time.”
Anyone with further information regarding this investigation is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email ihitinfo@rcmp–grc.gc.ca.
