Two people have been arrested in connection to a 2010 murder of a woman in Abbotsford.
On July 28, 2010, Mandy Johnson was shot and killed while in the passenger seat of a car in Abbotsford.
Also in the car was her boyfriend, Gator Browne, who was shot at but managed to flee the scene.
Over the last six years, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has worked to find enough evidence for homicide charges, and was successful last week.
Gavinder Grewal, 29, has been charged with Manslaughter and Attempted Murder. Jason Himpfen, 41, has been charged with second-degree murder.
“This tragic incident is another example of how difficult homicide investigations can be and highlights the dedication that is required from investigators,” said IHIT Staff Sergeant Jennifer Pound.
“IHIT has remained committed to obtaining justice for Mandy Johnson despite the passage of time and we would be remiss if we did not thank the family and friends for their patience and trust in us for the past six years.”
In a statement, Johnson’s mother thanked IHIT for their hard work.
“The pain of losing Mandy will never go away,” she wrote.
“As I look back at the last six years I know that these charges did not come without dedication and commitment and, as my family and I move through the next chapter of this process, I want to thank all of the investigators whose hard work and perseverance will finally bring justice for Mandy.”
