Kamloops RCMP searching for suspect in fourth shooting related to drug trafficking conflict

“This latest incident is believed to be a result of the ongoing conflict between local drug traffickers, which was also responsible for a series of targeted shootings reported this weekend,” S/Sgt. Todd Wiebe says.

A silver car was seen driving away from the scene. The suspect is described as a man standing 5’10” to 6’ with a lean build and hunch to his upper back. He was seen wearing sunglasses, a black baseball hat with a white decal on the front, a black jacket with a sheen to it, dark joggers, and black gloves with a red trim around the cuffs.

“As our teams continue their efforts, we’re asking residents to please be aware that these targeted attacks are occurring in public settings and present an increased risk to safety,” Wiebe adds. “The Kamloops RCMP Detachment has multiple resources working tirelessly to advance these investigations and is asking the public to work with us by being aware of their surroundings and being vigilant in reporting suspicious occurrences or suspected criminal activities that could be related.”

A police presence remains on scene as officers continue to investigate.
