Darpan News Desk Ridge Meadows RCMP, 19 Sep, 2022 05:01 PM

Ridge Meadows RCMP are appealing to the public for information relating to a shooting which occurred yesterday evening.

On Sunday, at around 10:45 PM, police received a 911 call from a female resident of a house located in the 12300 block area of 227 street. The woman was in another area of the home when she heard loud bangs and subsequently found an injured male occupant. When police arrived they confirmed the man, a 51 year old Maple Ridge resident, was suffering from gunshot wounds. The man was transported to hospital with serious injuries. The house remains secured by police while they execute a search warrant.

Police believe more people are involved in this incident and are appealing to the public for any witness statements or security camera footage. In particular, police are interested in home security or dash cam footage, between 10:30 PM and 11:00 PM, from the following areas;

Lee avenue between Edge street and 227th street
124th avenue between 224th street and 227th street
123rd avenue between Franklin Park and 227th street
227th street between Abernethy Way and Dewdney Trunk Road

The residence is known to police and the early investigation suggests this is an isolated incident and is not related to the ongoing lower mainland gang conflict.
