Two years after his murder, the family of multimedia artist Jeremy Gordaneer are trying to keep the homicide case in the public eye in the hopes someone will come forward with information.
The family, along with the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit, is appealing to the public for information.
At approximately 5 a.m. on Aug. 31, 2021, Victoria Police Department officers were called to Gordaneer’s mother’s home in the 1000-block of Carberry Gardens. Gordaneer was found inside suffering from life-threatening injuries. Officers and B.C. Emergency Health Services paramedics provided emergency first aid, but he died from his injuries.
He was 49 years old.
“He touched so, so many people with his talent – his gentle genius – his wry sense of humour – his tender soft eyes – his ability to put people at ease,” wrote Thea Patterson, Gordaneer’s wife, days after the murder. “He was – he is – simply one of the very best ones. I will always miss him.”
After it was deemed a homicide, Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU) took over the investigation.
Gordaneer’s family, including his sister, Alisa, and his daughters, Clea and Sylvie, have previously published a video appeal for any information that may help investigators.
The investigation remains ongoing, and no arrests have been made so far. Police say there is nothing to indicate there is any risk to the public, however, a risk assessment remains ongoing.
Investigators are continuing to seek information surrounding the homicide. If you have information about this incident please call the VIIMCU information line at 250-380-6211 or submit a tip online at vicpd.ca/gordaneertips.
