Gang war heats up on B.C. mainland; two shot, one dead

One man is dead after two men were shot on a rural road in Langley Saturday night. One man died at the scene in the 19700-block of 84th Avenue and the other, a high ranking Indo-Canadian Brothers Keepers gangster, drove off and was found with gunshot wounds on 208th Street, south of 80 Avenue. He is expected to recover.

On Saturday, Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) Staff Sgt. David Lee confirmed in a news release that one man was killed while the other was wounded about 6:30 p.m.

“Preliminary indications are that this shooting is linked to the ongoing B.C. gang conflict. Although no suspects have yet been identified, this is believed to be a targeted-shooting and an isolated event. This investigation is in its initial stages,” said Lee.

 Homicide investigators are in the area canvassing for CCTV, dashcam, and witnesses.

If anyone has CCTV or dashcam in the area of 196 Street and 84 Avenue between 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on September 21, they are being asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-4448 or ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.”
