Police have identified a 32-year-old resident of Maple Ridge as the victim in a stabbing in a Coquitlam underground parking lot Thursday afternoon.
Ramina Shah was stabbed in the parking lot in the 1100-block of Austin Avenue around 4:30 p.m., the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team confirmed.
She was rushed to the hospital but died from her injuries, investigators said.
Her name and photo are being released in an effort to identify witnesses who may have seen her around the time of the incident, IHIT said.
Investigators believe the stabbing is isolated and not random but they have not released any details about a suspect at this time.
“This is in its initial stages and we want to assure that there is no ongoing risk,” Sgt. David Lee of IHIT said in a release. “We are still gathering information and are asking for witnesses and CCTV.”
Homicide investigators are looking to speak with anyone who was in the area who has dashcam footage from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 27 near the 1100 block of Austin Avenue.
Anyone with information or video footage is asked to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email.
