A man was shot to death in a Richmond park Thursday night – the latest in a series of fatal shootings across the Lower Mainland in recent weeks.
Richmond RCMP Const. Kenneth Lau issued a news release about 11:30 p.m. saying Mounties responded to reports of shots fired about 8:30 p.m. in the park Moncton Street at No.1 Road.
“Police arrived on scene and located a male victim suffering from gunshot wounds,” he said. “The man was rushed to a local area hospital and has now succumbed to his injuries.”
No more details of what happened were released.
He said the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called in to take conduct of the file, working with the Richmond RCMP Serious Crime Unit and general investigations services.
“In the meantime, the area around the park has been cordoned off for the police investigation. Traffic in the area is not affected,” he said.
The shooting comes a day after high-profile gangster Gary Kang, 24, was shot to death in his parents’ south Surrey home.
