A 30 year old man has been identified as the victim of Vancouver's latest homicide.
Police say the body of Amin Shahin Shakur was found after 11 last night as officers responded to a call behind several small shops in south Vancouver (at Main Street and 48th Avenue.)
A statement from police says Shakur does not have an extensive police history and there is no risk to the public.
It's Vancouver's eighth slaying this year, with four of the homicides occurring in July, including a stabbing on Canada Day and a double murder in east Vancouver, although arrests have been made in those cases.
