The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is probing two new shooting deaths in Mission and Chilliwack.
Gang-involved Varinderpal Gill, who was just 19, was shot to death Wednesday about 9 p.m. at Mission Junction Mall on London Avenue.
IHIT spokesman, Cpl. Frank Jang, said Gill was pronounced dead at the scene.
In August, Abbotsford Police issued a pubic warning about Gill, who was involved in the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
While Gill was killed in Mission, a burning SUV believed to be linked to his death was found in Abbotsford’s Bateman Park at 1:14 a.m. Thursday.
“This was a brazen shooting in a busy shopping complex and those responsible showed absolutely no regard for human life. Fortunately, no one else was hurt from this incident,” Jang said. “We are releasing Mr. Gill’s name in an effort to determine his activities and who he may have had contact with prior to his death.”
IHIT was also on the scene of a fatal shooting in the 46000-block of Yale Road in Chilliwack that took place Thursday afternoon.
An injured person was found at the scene and transported to hospital where they died.
Anyone with information on either death is asked to call IHIT
Anyone with information regarding either case should contact IHIT at 1-877-551-4448 or ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
