Burnt-out vehicles have become a consistent calling card for gang-related crimes in Metro Vancouver, but the Integrated Homicide Investigations Team (IHIT) did not reveal if this death is being investigated as a targeted incident or connected to any organized crime.
“No suspect description is currently available, and police are looking for any witnesses or those with dash camera footage from the area, to contact police,” IHIT said Monday morning.
“IHIT will be in both areas throughout the day speaking with neighbours and canvassing for video,” Sgt. Timothy Pierotti of IHIT said. “If you have information and have yet to speak to police regarding this investigation, please contact IHIT immediately. If you were in either area between 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm and have dash camera video, please contact IHIT immediately.”
