Members of a Metro Vancouver homicide team have identified the 22 year old targeted in last week's homicide in Langley.
The 22-year-old man who was reportedly found with gunshot wounds inside a vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene has been identified as Arshdeep Singh of South Asian descent.
Sgt. Frank Jang with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 22-year-old Arshdeep Singh died in the late-night attack on Jan. 26. The Langley RCMP responded to a call at 11:38 pm in the area of 207 Street and 53A Avenue.
On January 27th Sgt Frank Jang of IHIT tweeted regarding the description of the street where he points to a tent set up over an idling Honda Civic with numerous holes in its windshield and the area beside the car is shrouded from view while dozens of evidence markers dot the street nearby.

The second victim in his early 20s who still hasn't been identified was also taken to the hospital and was expected to survive his injuries.
According to Jang, "The victim was known to police and his murder may have ties to the drug trade".
There have been several deadly shootings in Metro Vancouver over the last month, including one in Surrey targeting a 14-year-old boy.
