The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has identified the victim of a Maple Ridge homicide Saturday afternoon as 41-year-old Darr Khunkhun.
On April 9, at around 4:30 p.m., Ridge Meadows RCMP responded to shots fired at a parking lot near a gym at Lougheed Highway and 226 Street.
Although first responders tried to resuscitate Khunkhun who was suffering gunshot wounds, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to police, Khunkhun does not have a criminal record, however they believe this was a targeted shooting. So far, it is unclear if the shooting is related to gang conflict.
Investigators say the vehicle they believe the suspect was travelling in was a newer model, red Honda four-door sedan with a sun roof. Anyone who has seen this vehicle is being asked to call IHIT.
IHIT is also seeking dash-cam and video footage from anyone in the area at the time of the shooting.
“We are seeking this vehicle and its occupants, but warn you to not approach them,” said Sergeant David Lee of IHIT, “if you think you’ve seen this vehicle driving or parked, call the police.”
