A man who had been reportedly living in Coquitlam in July and who was the subject of a public warning this summer has been found dead in Richmond, the victim of a targeted shooting.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) issued a press release Wednesday saying the body of 30-year old Ibrahim Amjad Ibrahim had been found Tuesday morning at 4:15 a.m. in Garden City Park.
Ibrahim’s latest address was in Surrey, however, and he was known to have gang ties in Surrey.
Coquitlam RCMP say they were “aware” of Ibrahim and four others identified by Surrey RCMP as targets of shootings who had not been cooperative and whose lives were in danger.
In Wednesday’s press release, IHIT media relations officer Cpl. Frank Jang said the shooting of Ibrahim is a “reminder that if you are involved in or associated to criminal activity, then you are not immune to its inherent dangers.”
Although Ibrahim was known to have gang ties, police said it’s too early to say whether those associations are the reason for his murder.
