Police have identified the victim of a fatal shooting in Langley, B.C., on Friday, and confirmed that a second person was also hurt.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Saturday that 18-year-old Julian Moya Cardenas, a Langley resident known to police, was shot dead around 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of 202 Street and 88 Avenue.

Police said a bystander was also hit and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police are not releasing the second victim’s identity.

A witness to the shooting, whom Global News is not identifying to protect their safety, said the bystander was his brother, and was struck in the leg.
