ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- A devastated father wept Friday as he described how his teenage son was grabbed at gunpoint Thursday and later found slain in a car on a B.C. mountain with another teen.

Amarjit Randay said 18-year-old Joseph and his friend Dilsher Gill, 18, were hanging out with a few pals in a public park Thursday night when a man pulled up in a car and pointed a gun at some of them.

He said Joseph's friends told him his son confronted the gunman when he tried to grab two others in the group of teens, all high school buddies.

"All we know is that they were kidnapped at gunpoint last night and now they have found their bodies. The police said they are both dead," Randay said. "Police have no leads."

He said he has no idea why someone would kill his boy, who along with Gill, was a Grade 12 student Abbotsford, about 75 kilometres east of Vancouver.

His son lists as a Facebook friend Mike Ahuja. Ahuja's older brother Sunny is a close associate of the Bacon brothers, who are suspected to gangsters. Last March, the Ahuja home was targeted in a drive-by shooting.

Two other young men linked to the Ahuja clan were gunned down a month ago in Abbotsford.

Both Sean (Smurph) Murphy, 21, and 19-year-old Ryan (Whitey) Richards were drug dealers working for the Red Scorpions and were shot to death a few hours apart.

Cpl. Dale Carr of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was not prepared to release the victims' names Friday.

"They were discovered early this morning around 9 a.m. by some maintenance workers," Carr said.

The workers were checking the area for stolen cars, which are routinely abandoned on small gravel roads on Sumas Mountain, Carr said.

He said there were signs of trauma on the victims, but no overt indication of what killed them.

Carr said it is too early in the investigation to say when the pair died or whether the case is linked to gang violence or the drug trade.

Since the start of the year there have been 48 shootings reported in the Lower Mainland, leaving 24 people dead and 21 injured.
