The Chilliwack RCMP is advising the public of a shooting in Sardis that left one person deceased and another one with serious injuries.

Chilliwack RCMP is currently on scene following a report of shots fired in the 44000-block of Watson Road, in the Sardis area of Chilliwack. At approximately 6:50 p.m., Chilliwack RCMP Frontline members arrived on scene and located an adult male suffering from gunshot wounds. A second adult was transported to a hospital with serious injuries. As a result, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called and is working closely with the Chilliwack RCMP Serious Crime Team.

The investigation is currently underway, in its early stages, and officers are canvassing for witnesses in the area. Investigators believe the shooting was targeted and related to the LMD Gang Conflict.

We’re asking anyone who was in the 44000-block of Watson Road with dashcam video between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. or who may have witnessed the shooting to contact the Chilliwack RCMP immediately, says Corporal Martin Godard of the Upper Fraser Valley Region Detachment. At this time, we don’t believe there is any further risk to the public.

Any further information will be provided by Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). Anyone with further information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact the IHIT Info Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
