Homicide investigators have located a vehicle they believe is linked to the killing of 19-year-old college student Bhavkiran "Kiran" Dhesi.

Dhesi was discovered dead inside a burned out SUV in Surrey in August 2017. Since that time, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been trying to locate two vehicles connected to the crime — an Audi Q7 and a dark grey Dodge Ram.

The Audi Q7 has now been found.

IHIT appealed to the public on social media on Dec. 12 for help locating the vehicles. According to IHIT's Twitter account, the Audi Q7 was tracked down with public assistance.
