The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has now released photos of the suspect in the Langley, B.C., shooting spree that left two people dead Monday morning.

Investigators said he was known to them but had had “non-criminal contact.”

Homicide investigators have determined that Goggin was wearing two different outfits during the time of the shooting and was driving a white Mazda four-door sedan.

They are hoping someone may recognize Goggin or the car and come forward with information about him or his activities.

Goggin is described as six feet one inch tall and 68 kilograms with light brown hair and a slight goatee. He was first wearing a black T-shirt and board shorts. He later changed into brown overalls and a camouflaged short-sleeve T-shirt, police said.

Two people were shot and killed. A woman remains in the hospital in serious condition and another man suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The victims’ names have not been released but others in the community have identified them as unhoused. However, one of the victims did appear to be living at Creek Stone Place Supportive Housing in Langley.
