PORT MOODY – On Wednesday October 7, 2020 at approximately 2:45 p.m., the Port Moody Police Department responded to the Glenayre area of Port Moody for reports of a male who had been shot in the back multiple times, while in the driveway of his home.

Investigation revealed that there had been a minor dispute along Clarke Road between the 22-year-old victim and a male suspect known to him. The suspect then followed the victim on foot to his home and shot him in the back multiple times with a BB gun before the victim could make it safely inside.
