“Investigators have advised that this event was a targeted shooting and it appears to be related to the Lower Mainland gang conflict. The injured person was the intended target,” Acting Insp. James Sandberg with DPD told CityNews.
Sandberg says there is no ongoing threat to the public, and officers are now working with Surrey RCMP who since recovered a burned vehicle in the Bridgeview neighbourhood.
“That vehicle, although not confirmed at this point being related to our shooting, is suspected to be related,” Sandberg said.
While residents may be concerned as there have been no arrests related to the shooting, Sandburg says everything the DPD does is with the objective of public safety.
“Everything that we do, and all the approaches that we take to investigate, as well as to prevent crime, is focused on public safety.
“And so we are working with our community to keep the community safe. And with that, one way that the community can contribute to that is by providing information if they have that.”
If you have information regarding this shooting, or surveillance or dash camera video from the area, please contact the Delta Police at 604-946-4411 and reference TIP file number 2022-25030.
