Maple Ridge RCMP were called about an altercation at the Port Haney wharf in the 22300-block of River Road shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday, .
A man was found with life-threatening injuries and died despite the efforts of first responders.
“Investigators believe this was an isolated and targeted incident, where the parties involved were known to each other,” said Sgt. Freda Fong of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Gang activity is not believed to be a factor.
Fong confirmed a weapon was involved but said she could not say what kind “so as not to compromise the ongoing investigation.”
“Thanks to the quick actions taken by Maple Ridge RCMP officers, the scene was contained quickly which allowed investigators to preserve critical evidence,” said Fong.
“A number of witness interviews are underway as investigators piece together the events.”
