Darpan News Desk IHIT, 30 Aug, 2022 10:01 AM

IHIT has made an arrest in the homicide of Michael Brown from May 21, 2022 in Surrey with charges of second degree murder being laid.

On May 21, 2022, at around 9:49 a.m., Surrey RCMP responded to shots fired in the 13700-block of Grosvenor Road. Upon arrival, Front line officers found a man, later identified as Michael Brown, suffering from serious injuries and had him transported to a local area hospital for treatment. A few dates later he died as a result of his injuries.

After an extensive three-month investigation, IHIT investigators identified Bradley Minchin as a suspect in the homicide of Mr. Brown.

A second degree murder charge against Minchin in relation to the homicide of Mr. Brown has been laid.

“Wednesday’s arrest could not have happened without the tireless work of the investigating team and their incredible partnership with the Surrey RCMP and the Vancouver Police Department,” says Sergeant Timothy Pierotti of IHIT. “The work doesn’t end here and while the matter is currently before the Court, IHIT will speak with any further witnesses who come forward or who are identified.”

IHIT is asking that anyone with information regarding the homicide, to contact IHIT.
