Langley shooting victims ID’d, after people wondered if their loved ones were killed

Two men who were killed in an early-morning shooting rampage in Langley have been identified by police.

Paul David Wynn, 60, and Steven Furness, 43, were the victims in the Monday attack.

Paul died at Creekstone Place, while Steven was found dead at the Langley bus loop near Logan and Glover Road. Community advocates have suggested the two victims did not have permanent homes.

The victims’ families have been contacted.

“Paul was the poster child of the family he worked so hard for everything he had,” his family said in a statement through the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

Steven’s family says “hopefully Steven’s tragic death will put a spotlight on the plight of the homeless and vulnerable in society. Love from your family.”

“We’ve learned that there are those in the community looking for their friends and loved ones wondering if they were victims” said Sgt. David Lee of IHIT.

“We hope that this identification helps the public awareness of who was involved and to assess if there are other unaccounted for,” Lee added.

A woman is still in the hospital with critical injuries. A man was also in the hospital, and is expected to be okay. Both are 26 years old.

The suspect, Jordan David Goggin, was shot by police. The 28-year-old Surrey man died at the scene. Goggin was known to police for “non-criminal contacts,” but police have not identified a motive.

Most of the shootings happened before sunrise, but people across Metro Vancouver knew about it shortly before 6:30 a.m. when they were jolted awake by an emergency alert.

The day after the shooting, police released photos of the suspect and his car, in the hopes details about Goggin will bring forward more information from the public.

IHIT is looking to speak with anyone who may have known Goggin, or know of his activities.

 

“Homicide investigators have determined that Goggin was wearing two different outfits during the time of the shooting and was driving a white Mazda 4-door sedan,” IHIT said in an earlier statement.

Police described Goggin as 6’1″ and 150lbs, with light brown hair and a slight goatee. He was initially wearing a black t-shirt and board shorts and later changed into brown overalls and a camouflaged short-sleeve t-shirt.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

The Independent Investigations Office of BC has been called in, as is the case whenever someone dies or is seriously hurt during an interaction with police.
