The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been called in after a shooting in Langley left one man dead and another injured, the RCMP said late Saturday.
Mounties responded to shots fired in the area of 196 Street and 84 Avenue at around 6:30 p.m. First responders found two men suffering from gunshot wounds when they arrived, police say.
One of the victims died at the scene, and the other is being treated for injuries.
“Preliminary indications are that this shooting is linked to the ongoing B.C. gang conflict,” the RCMP said.
“Although no suspects have yet been identified, this is believed to be a targeted shooting and an isolated event.”
Police say the investigation is in its initial stages.
Any witnesses or anyone who may have CCTV or dashcam footage from the area between 3:30 pm. and 6:30 p.m. is asked to call IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
