RCMP investigating apparent Coquitlam drive-by shooting

A shooting "between two vehicles" in Maillardville is under investigation, and Mounties are turning to the public for help.

Coquitlam RCMP responded to reports of a shooting after 10:30 p.m. on Thursday (Sept. 15) near the intersection of Hart Street and Henderson Avenue, but there were no suspects found and no arrests made.

Later that evening, police explained shell casings were found in the 600-block Roderick Avenue — located two blocks west of the initial call.

The alleged drive-by shooting, witnesses said, involved a white SUV and a dark-coloured sedan with noticeable damage to the side-view mirror.

Now, with lead on the case, the local detachment's investigational support team is asking for dashcam, CCTV and general video of the sixth known shooting of 2022 in the city to date.

"If you witnessed this incident or saw a dark coloured sedan with damage to the side-view mirror and a white SUV, our investigators would like to speak with you," said spokesperson Cpl. Alexa Hodgins in a statement today (Sept. 16).

RCMP are specifically looking for footage between 10 and 11 p.m. of Roderick Avenue, Hart Street, Henderson Avenue or the surrounding neighbourhood.

Anyone with more information or video of the shooting is encouraged to call Coquitlam Mounties at 604-945-1550 and quote file-number 2022-24511.
