The shooting comes four days after another shooting in Surrey that police say was tied to the Metro Vancouver gang conflict.
On Wednesday night, three people were killed in two separate incidents in Vancouver, one of which involved gunfire. A burned-out vehicle was later found in Richmond, but police will not say if it’s connected to the deaths.
