Overview
- Two masked men fired on a parked car at Spanish Banks Beach on Saturday afternoon, and police say the attack appears to have been targeted.
- People nearby noted the suspects’ licence plate and called police, which led officers to stop the suspects’ sedan and arrest one man near Fraser Street and East 49th Avenue.
- Investigators have recovered the vehicle that was struck by gunfire but have not located or identified any victims.
- The VPD Major Crime Section is leading the probe, says there is no perceived ongoing threat to the public, and asks anyone with dashcam footage to call 604-717-2500.
- The quick witness response underscores the role of community evidence in the case and officials say identifying the second suspect remains the investigation’s immediate priority.
