The investigation into the tragic murder of Jeremy Gordaneer on August 31st, 2021, in Victoria continues to be a focus for his family.
The homicide unfolded at the residence of Jeremy’s mother in the 1000-block of Carberry Gardens in which police have provided few details about the homicide.
At the time of his death, Jeremy was living in Edmonton, but was visiting Victoria to be with his mother.
His wife, Thea Patterson, saw her husband for the last time on August 29th, 2021, when she drove him to the Edmonton airport to catch his flight to Victoria.
At approximately 5 a.m. on the day of the incident, VicPD officers were called to Jeremy’s mothers home located on a quiet street in the Rockland area.
Police, along with paramedics, attended the scene, where they located 49-year-old Jeremy suffering from life-threatening injuries.
Officers and paramedics administered emergency first aid, however, he died from his injuries.
Detectives with VicPD’s Major Crime Unit were called to the scene, determining the incident to be a homicide.
While unconfirmed, sources say Jeremy was shot in his mother’s home and there were several people in the residence at the time.
Subsequently, the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU) assumed control of the investigation, bringing with them their specialized resources and expertise to dig deeper into the circumstances surrounding Gordaneer’s death.
