A man who was shot dead in Maple Ridge on Thursday has been identified.
The victim who police say was known to them, is 41-year-old Arthur Aaron Joseph Comeau.
RCMP say they were called to 124 Avenue near Laity Street at about 2 p.m. Thursday to reports of shots fired.
Mounties say officers arrived and found the victim, adding an off-duty Vancouver police officer and an off-duty nurse stepped in to help with efforts to save his life. The man died at the scene.
Police say it’s still unclear whether this is related to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
