A Surrey man has been charged with the murder, resulting from an assault in North Surrey earlier this year.
On Feb. 17, Surrey RCMP were called to a report on an assault in the 13300-block of 105 Avenue. When police arrived, they found 68-year-old Tee Bor with serious injuries.
He was take to hospital where he died.
On July 12, police arrested 26-year-old Pee Lee Pi, of Surrey. He has been charged with second-degree murder.
Pi was expected to appear before a judge in B.C. Provincial Court in Surrey on Monday.
Court records show Pi has no previous criminal history, nor did Tee Bor.

“IHIT would like to thank its many partners whose contributions helped advance this investigation to today’s outcome,” IHIT’s Corporal Frank Jang, said in a release. “Our deepest condolences and sympathies go out to the family of Mr. Tee Bor and anyone else that was affected by his loss.”
