Delta police have confirmed they are investigating a shooting that took place in a quiet neighbourhood on Sunday evening.
Police said shots were fired between two vehicles in the 8800 block of Delvista Drive, around 5 p.m.
“The incident appears to be targeted,” Cris Leykauf, spokesperson for Delta police said in a release Monday. “While fortunately no injuries have been reported to police, this type of violence is completely unacceptable. Innocent people could have been hurt.”
Police also said at this point it appears the occupants of the vehicles were not Delta residents and were “passing through.”
Delta police officers were on scene Monday morning, placing yellow evidence markers on the road and examining two vehicles parked in the area.
A nearby house was initially suspected to have been struck by gunfire, but upon close examination, police said this does not appear to be the case.
One of the vehicles believed to be related to the shooting was found burned in Langley.
The Delta Police Department Major Crimes Unit has now taken control of the investigation.
Meanwhile, Surrey RCMP are still investigating the death of a man on Friday that they are calling a mystery.
Adrian Golofit was found Friday evening when a friend came by his house near 194 Street and 66th Avenue and called police. Investigators say he had no gang ties or serious criminal history.
