Langley RCMP responded to a report of an unresponsive man at the Highway Hotel in the night of March 25th.

The victim, Cody William Mostat, 30, was located suffering life-threatening injuries, and died while being treated by paramedics. The cause of death has not been released at this time.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called to assist with the investigation.

According to reports Mostat, struggled with addiction and had gang links.

Justin Bos was arrested in September, and charged with second-degree murder.

Update: On December 20, 2024, Mr. Bos pleaded guilty to one count of manslaughter with a firearm. He is due for sentencing in the upcoming months for multiple offences, including one other count of manslaughter with a firearm for the homicide of Troy Regnier.

Update: On June 6, 2025, Mr. Bos was sentenced in BC Supreme Court to 19 years in prison after the court applied the principle of totality to an initial 25-year sentence. He received 13 years for the manslaughter of Mr. Mostat, six consecutive years for the manslaughter of Mr. Regnier, and another six years for firearms manufacturing, which will be served concurrently. Having already spent two years in custody—credited as four—he will serve an additional 15 years.

Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT acknowledged the hard work of investigators and partner agencies, noting that cooperation was key to solving both cases. She expressed hope that the sentencing brings some closure to the victims’ families.
