2 shootings in 2 months, 1 block apart in Port Coquitlam; RCMP won't say if they're connected
Police are investigating the second shooting in as many months on the same Port Coquitlam street.
The RCMP was called to Davies Avenue Thursday night for a shooting that fortunately did not result in any injuries.
Mounties said they're still working to determine what the motive was, and said nothing about suspects or intended victims.
In a brief news release Friday morning, the detachment said it was looking for witnesses, as well as anyone with dash-cam or surveillance video that might show people or vehicles in the area, which is near the intersection with Raleigh Street.
Anyone with information or video is asked to contact the Coquitlam RCMP.
It's the second shooting officers have been called to on Davies this summer. The earlier shooting was on June 30, and just a block away.
In that incident, a 37-year-old man was killed. Mehdi "Damien" Eslahian was known to police, and his death is believed to be targeted but not gang-related.
Mounties would not answer a question from CTV News about whether the latest shooting is connected to Eslahian's death.
"It is an ongoing investigation and we have released all the information we can at this time," a spokesperson said in an email.
