Flynn was found by a passerby in the parking lot of Marine Gateway Cineplex near SW Marine Drive and Cambie Street just before 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, according to police.

Vancouver police made an appeal on Thursday for video evidence that ay help them with the homicide case.

“This incident happened in a very public, busy area,” said Const. Tania Visintin, a spokesperson for the VPD, in a statement Thursday.
