In August, Surrey RCMP said Ibrahim Amjad Ibrahim was involved in the Lower Mainland gang conflict and refusing to cooperate with police despite being targeted.
This week, he was found dead in Richmond’s Garden City Park, the victim of a targeted shooting.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is now in charge of the probe into the 30-year-old’s death.
“Mr. Ibrahim was known to police and investigators believe his murder was targeted. Mr. Ibrahim was associated to gangs but to say these associations are the reason for his murder would be premature. It remains early in the investigation and investigators are working to determine motive,” Cpl. Frank Jang said in a news release.

He said IHIT is working closely with the Richmond RCMP, the Integrated Forensic Identification Section and the B.C. Coroner’s Service during this evidence gathering phase.
“Anyone in the area of the parking lot of Garden City Park during the overnight period of October 9th is asked to contact IHIT, Jang said.
“This is yet another life that has been lost too soon. It is a reminder that if you are involved in or associated to criminal activity, then you are not immune to its inherent dangers.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact the IHIT at 1-877-551-4448 or ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
