While officers were on scene, another report came in saying two men who had been shot were at the hospital.

One of the victims, 41-year old Dillan Unger, died of his injuries. The second man has since been released from the hospital, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says,

“This appears to have been a targeted and isolated incident,” said Corp. Chase Smith of IHIT. “Our team is actively working to gather evidence and advance the investigation.”

IHIT is asking anyone with information or dashcam footage from the area of 202B Street between 72 and 68 avenues between 10 p.m. Aug. 1 and 3 a.m. Aug 2, to contact investigators at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
