Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Sgt. Frank Jang stood near the park Friday and said the murder appears to be part of the continuing gang conflict. He urged people with information to call police. “Please reach out to us if you’re in a position to help. We’ve got to stop this from happening. This is unacceptable. Everybody agrees it is unacceptable even those in the inner circle of these people who are responsible … agree that this is unacceptable. Let’s do something about it,” Jang said. Mohammed’s murder is the fourth deadly shooting in the Lower Mainland in less than two weeks all believed linked to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
