THE Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) on Monday identified Sunday’s homicide victim in Chilliwack as 48-year-old Kristopher Benson in an effort to advance their investigation.
On February 15 at approximately 8:40 a.m., Chilliwack RCMP responded to a report of a shooting inside a residence on Mellard Avenue. Officers located two men inside the residence suffering from gunshot wounds.
Despite life-saving measures, one of the men died on scene. The other man was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries. He remains in stable condition.
IHIT that took conduct of the investigation continues to work in close partnership with the Chilliwack RCMP, the Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS), and the BC Coroners Service.
While the motivation behind the shooting is still under investigation, preliminary information indicates that this was a targeted and isolated incident, IHIT said.
“Investigators are expected to be in the area for some time as they continue to process the crime scene and canvass for video evidence,” says IHIT Sgt. Freda Fong. “Anyone with information who has yet to speak with IHIT is urged to contact us right away.”
IHIT is seeking witnesses, CCTV and anyone with dash cameras who was in the area of the 46000-block of Mellard Avenue on February 15 between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. Anyone with information is urged to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
