The two, who were parked in the driveway, had just come back from getting coffee. They were chatting over future wedding plans when a bullet struck Sean in the arm. He survived, while Michael was struck in the head and died.
The attack happened while Sean’s family, including his 8 week old niece, were just inside the house. His sister heard the shots as she was feeding her newborn.
Police believe the murder is connected to the ongoing gang violence in Surrey. Investigators suspect one of Sean’s relatives is involved in the conflict. Neither Sean nor Michael have a criminal record.
Michael, an inadvertent victim of gang violence, a community on edge, and a family devastated over the loss of an innocent man who had a bright future ahead of him.
Police say this was a targeted shooting. But Michael and Sean were not the intended targets.
