Homicide team investigating fatal shooting in Langley, B.C.

Oct 6, 2026 | 9:07 AM

LANGLEY — A 23-year-old man has been killed in what’s believed to be a targeted shooting in Langley, B.C., and homicide investigators have taken over the case.

Langley RCMP say they were called at 9:45 p.m. Monday after a report of shots fired in the 6000 block of 200 Street.

The man died at the scene despite receiving life-saving treatment.

Shortly after, police were called to a vehicle burning nearby that investigators have determined was used in the shooting.

Homicide investigators are trying to establish a timeline of events in the case, and police are canvassing for video evidence and witnesses.
