Shooting In Langley Hotel Parking Lot Was Targeted: IHIT

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Apr, 2017 09:49 AM
    Homicide investigators say the shooting of a man in the parking lot of a Langley hotel on Saturday afternoon was targeted, but they provided little other information about the victim or any suspects on Sunday.
     
    On April 1st just before 2:00 pm, the Langley RCMP was called to the 8800 block of 201 Street after received a report of shots fired. Upon police attendance, an adult victim was located suffering from gunshot wounds. The adult victim succumbed to his injuries.
     
    Based on the investigative theory in this initial phase, this does not appear to be a random act.
     
    Saturday’s shooting was the second daytime shooting in a hotel parking lot in Metro Vancouver in recent weeks.
     
    Two weeks ago, surveillance cameras near the scene helped police find a photo of the suspect in a shooting at the Comfort Inn on Fraser Highway and 166th Street in Surrey.
     
    A restaurant near the scene of Saturday’s shooting has cameras that face the parking lot where the incident took place, but investigators had not identified a suspect or suspects on Sunday.
     
    IHIT also had not released the identity of the victim as of Monday morning.
     
     
    Anyone with information regarding this investigation can call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
