More Gun Violence In Surrey: 36-Yr-Old Hershan 'Shawn' Bains Found Shot Dead In A Car

The Canadian Press, 27 Jan, 2017 07:47 PM
    SURREY, B.C. — RCMP say they are uncertain whether the latest homicide victim in Surrey, B.C., is linked to several targeted shootings in the province this week.
     
    Police have identified the deceased as 36-year-old Hershan Bains of Maple Ridge.
     
    Bains was found unresponsive in his vehicle on a residential street on Thursday evening.
     
    "It’s imperative that they step forward and contact police so that those responsible are held accountable," Cpl. Meghan Foster said.
     
    Mounties say he appeared to have died of gunshot wounds, and officers believe he was targeted.
     
    Police say it’s still unclear whether the murder is connected to a shooting approximately six kilometres northeast of where Bains' body was found, within the same hour. In that incident, someone in a pickup truck opened fire on a white Mercedes in the 12300-block of 91A Avenue. The vehicle was struck with bullets but no one was injured.
     
     
    The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says it's also unknown whether Bains's death is connected to the murder of 22-year-old Karanpartap Waraich who was also shot in his vehicle in Surrey on Monday.
     
    Another man was shot and injured in Surrey on Thursday while earlier this week two men were killed in Prince George and another pair suffered gunshot wounds in Abbotsford.
