A day after last Sunday’s homicide victim in Surrey’s Port Kells neighbourhood had been identified by her family members on social media, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) on Wednesday said that in order to further the investigation, the victim was being identified as 30-year-old Tory Dunn from Surrey.
Her father, Aron Dunn, states her name as “Tori Marie Dunn” on his Facebook page.
On June 16 at approximately 10 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a woman with life-threatening injuries inside a residence near the 9800-block of 182A Street in Surrey.
IHIT said the woman was transported to a nearby hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
IHIT was called in to investigate.
Following a search of the area by additional police responders and the Integrated Police Dog Service (IPDS), a suspect was located and taken into police custody. This suspect remains in custody for an unrelated charge and the homicide investigation is ongoing.
IHIT said it is working in partnership with the Surrey RCMP, the BC Coroners Service, and the Integrated Forensic Identification Service (IFIS). Homicide investigators are continuing to canvass the neighbourhood for witnesses and video surveillance.

Tori Dunn’s Facebook page says she was the owner and founder at Dunn Right Landscaping Services. She went to Sullivan Heights Secondary in Surrey and studied Psychiatric Nursing at Douglas College.
