      Original article (February 4):

      An investigation into a Surrey shooting that injured an innocent bystander three years ago has had some major developments, including the arrest of a second suspect, additional charges, and a significant seizure of evidence involving RCMP in other B.C. cities. In addition, police are seeking help in locating a third suspect.

      Surrey RCMP stated that on July 8, 2017, a shooting occurred in the 7600 block of 147A Street in Surrey, in which a 62-year-old innocent female bystander visiting from Ontario was injured.

      The investigation into a conspiracy to commit murder subsequently expanded to encompass concurrent investigations by Vernon and Kelowna RCMP, including a search warrant at a Kelowna residence.

      The combined investigations resulted in police seizing approximately $177,000; significant quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and ketamine; six firearms; and cellphones.

      This year on January 30, 15 separate charges were laid against Abd'l Malik Loubissi-Morris, Tien Roy Mai Dang, and Noah Didhra, including conspiracy to commit an indictable offence; possession of a controlled substance for trafficking; possession of proceeds of crime; and possession of a firearm.

      Loubissi-Morris of Vancouver was arrested in Richmond on December 11, 2019, and Dang was arrested on January 30, 2020, without incident.
