Vancouver police say they're investigating after a 28-year-old man died in a downtown crash early this morning.
They say a Honda Accord was stopped at a red light around 3 a-m when the driver of a van crashed into its rear, causing the van to catch fire.
Police say the 34-year-old van driver was extracted and taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The driver and one passenger in the Honda were rushed to hospital with serious injuries, while a second passenger died at the scene.
When officers arrived, they found an unresponsive man with gunshot wounds, who later died in hospital. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been deployed, and is working with Chilliwack RCMP.
Officers arrived and located a woman suffering from injuries that appeared to be the result of a stabbing. Police and BC Ambulance Service immediately began lifesaving measures but the woman was later pronounced deceased on scene.
Following the incident, an arrest warrant was issued for Singh, and he was arrested late last month. Singh has been charged with 12 offences, including theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen property and flight from a police officer.
The suspects fled in the stolen vehicle after there was an exchange of gunfire with responding officers. Neither the suspects or responding officers were shot. It is unknown at this time if the outstanding suspects were injured.
In October, VPD investigators executed multiple search warrants, seizing 72 kilograms of the fake, fentanyl-laced pills, along with 16.5 kilograms of cocaine, 88 kilograms of cutting agents, methamphetamine, MDMA, and benzodiazepine.
Canada slapped a 35 per cent tariff on most goods coming from Russia and Belarus, which has been an ally to Moscow since the invasion began in February. Freeland's office says the tariffs stem from Canadian purchases that are mostly fertilizer, tires, nickel and plywood.
