Homicide investigators have identified the victim of a targeted shooting in Langley, B.C.

Sgt. Frank Jang with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 22-year-old Arshdeep Singh died in the late-night attack on Jan. 26.

Jang says Singh's name and photo are being released in an effort to further the investigation, but he provided no other information.

Singh was in the driver's seat of a car parked in a residential area of Langley when it was riddled by gunfire, killing him and injuring a man in the passenger seat.

In the hours after the shooting, Jang confirmed Singh had been known to police and that the murder might have ties to the drug trade.

But he said nothing ``glaringly obvious'' linked the shooting to the ongoing Metro Vancouver gang conflict.

Richmond RCMP warns public about rental deposit scams

Richmond RCMP is warning the public of a current trend involving rental deposit scams. Since July of 2025, Richmond RCMP officers are investigating five reports of rental deposit frauds where individual losses range from $400 to $2,600. In most cases, the victims found an online advertisement on a social media platform, contacted the alleged owner and were asked to pay a deposit to secure the property via e-transfer. Once the funds were transferred, the victim soon discovered the property was not available for rent. “We realize the rental market is highly competitive, especially around this

B.C. ostrich farm loses court bid to prevent avian flu cull

The Federal Court of Appeal has rejected a bid by a British Columbia ostrich farm to prevent the culling of its flock that had been infected with avian flu. The court has dismissed two applications by Universal Ostrich Farms over the cull of about 400 birds, which was sought by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It says the "stamping out" policy of the agency, in which infected poultry flocks are killed, is reasonable, and that criteria to apply it had been met in the case of the farm in Edgewood, B.C. The planned cull had drawn opposition from United States officials, including Health Secre
