Vancouver police say a Langley man has been charged after a fatal shooting in the Sunset neighbourhood last month.
The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) says officers were called to East 63rd Avenue and Inverness Street shortly before 9 p.m. on July 26, after receiving reports of two men being shot in a car, which then crashed into two other vehicles.
One of the two men — 25-year-old Hitkaran Johal — died at the scene.
The second man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
With the help of the Calgary Police Service and the Alberta RCMP, 27-year-old Rylee Shipley was arrested in Alberta on Aug. 21.
“The BC Prosecution Service has approved one count each of first-degree murder, attempted murder with a firearm, and aggravated assault,” the VPD said in a release Friday.
VPD investigators are still asking for anyone with information who has not yet come forward to call the Homicide Unit at 604-717-2500.
