Two dead, four injured in latest Metro Vancouver gun violence

METRO VANCOUVER - Surrey RCMP are looking for one man after a gas station shooting sent two men to hospital Wednesday, the latest in a spree of violence that left two people dead and two injured the night before.
Police responded to reports of shots fired at about 7 p.m. at the Chevron station at 72nd Avenue and 122nd Street.
Two men in a red Chevy Malibu stopped to fuel up at a bay at the station. While one man filled the tank, a man approached on foot and shot him in the leg, according to Insp. Dave Walsh.
The gunman then shot the second man, who was in the car, in the head.
Both men were sent to hospital and both are expected to survive the attack, Walsh said.
He said the gunman was seen running away from the scene southbound and police suspect he was picked up by a nearby vehicle.
The shooting comes after homicide investigators in Burnaby and Vancouver were poring over crime scenes Wednesday, searching for clues in the region's two latest shooting deaths Tuesday night.
Surrey RCMP were investigating three additional shootings that left two wounded, all within hours of each other in another round of gun violence.
Vancouver police identified a man gunned down at Third and Kaslo as 27-year-old Sunil Mall, a convicted drug trafficker who had repeated incidents with police dating back to 2001.
Mall was shot to death as he sat in the driver's seat of a Toyota in a quiet neighbourhood.
The shooting was not believed to be related to a double shooting in Burnaby less than two hours earlier that left a young woman dead and a man in hospital in critical condition.
Cpl. Dale Carr of the integrated homicide investigation team said it may take a while to confirm the identity of a woman killed on the 25th floor of the highrise, since no photo identification has been located. He said investigators may need to travel to China to prove who she is.
"At this point, we have a piece of identification that doesn't provide us a positive identification of the deceased," he said.
A man in his 30s who was also shot remained in hospital in critical condition and was unable to be interviewed by police.
Carr said investigators had a few working theories about the double shooting that "range from criminality to domestic, and a few in between."
He said that based on the man's injuries, it was clearly not a murder-attempted suicide. He said the building has surveillance and an electronic entry system that should aid the probe.
"We are getting that downloaded," he said of the video. "The other nice thing is that the building is on a fob system [a radio-frequency ID chip in a key fob] so it identifies the [movement] of individuals. So we will analyse that. There is a great deal more work. There are at least 200 homes in that building," Carr said.
Homicide detectives and forensic identification officers worked through the night where Mall was killed. Search and canvass teams were expected to be back on the scene today.
Insp. Bob Chapman said residents near the slaying called 911 to report several shots fired at about 9:50 p.m. When police arrived they saw the silver car with a shattered window, shell casings and blood.
The victim was slumped at the wheel with blood on his face.
"Right now it has all the marks of another gangland-style hit," Chapman said at the scene.
At least 20 police cruisers were blocking streets around the shooting.
Chapman said witnesses saw two men in dark clothing fleeing on foot.
In Surrey, investigators were called to three separate shooting incidents overnight Tuesday to Wednesday, with two people being treated in hospital for gunshot wounds.
The first occurred at 8:04 p.m. in the area of 130th Street and 68A Avenue, where residents reported hearing a number of shots. The gunman was believed to have fled in a white Infiniti SUV and police later learned a 22-year-old Somali male had been taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound to his buttocks. RCMP Sgt. Roger Morrow said the victim was known to police and was involved in the drug trade. His condition was listed as critical but he was expected to survive, Morrow said.
The second incident took place just before midnight, when a series of shots was fired into a residence in the area of 154th Street and 110th Avenue. No one was hurt but Morrow said the house was known to police as a "crack shack."
At 2:47 a.m. Wednesday, police were called to a hospital after a second male appeared in the emergency department suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. The victim was described as an Indo-Canadian male, 22, known to police and involved in the drug trade. Police believe he was shot in the vicinity of 180th Street and 32nd Avenue in south Surrey. |
