Two people are dead after a daylight shooting in Richmond Saturday morning.

Richmond RCMP say the victims were found near Minoru Boulevard and Ackroyd Road at 11 a.m..

Officers say the victims suffered gunshot wounds, and while the investigation is in the early stages, this “does not appear to be a random act.”

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken over the case. The identities of the victims have not been released.

RCMP did not provide more details into a possible suspect.
