The father of a homicide victim in Surrey, B.C., says she was killed in a home invasion on the weekend.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation team says 30-year-old Tori Dunn died after being found with life-threatening injuries at a home in the Port Kells area of Surrey late Sunday night.

Police say a suspect was arrested near the crime scene after a search that involved the Police Dog Service, and the person is being held in custody on a related charge while the investigation continues.

Dunn's father, Aron Dunn, says in a Facebook message that his daughter was the "victim to a home invasion" and "senseless violence."

Police have not confirmed details surrounding Dunn's death as they continue to canvass the neighbourhood for witnesses.

Investigators say they released the victim's name to help the investigation, adding that anyone with dashcam or surveillance footage of the area near the crime scene should contact police.

"We, her family cannot begin to understand how someone as kind as Tori could be victim to such senseless violence," Aron Dunn wrote of his daughter.

"Tori was loved by all that she met. She devoted her time and love to her friends and family, (she was) someone who lit up the room with her smile and laugh. She is loved more than words."

Social media accounts associated with Tori Dunn identify her as the owner of a landscaping business

Conservatives still lead in party fundraising as Liberals close in

The Conservatives are still bringing in more through donations than any other federal political party, but their fundraising has dropped since the spring election.

That outpaced the Liberals, who brought in $7.7 million from more than 116,000 donors. It's a steep drop for the Conservatives from their pre-election fundraising push, which raised $28 million in the first quarter of this year. The NDP's numbers have been steady this year, with more than 38,000 people giving t
