Vancouver rundown for Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
Police continue to look for those responsible
for that deadly stabbing of a 15 -year -old boy
in Abbotsford Sunday night. Two teens originally
arrested have now been released and are said
to not be suspects. The stabbing occurred at
around 7 .30 in Larch Park. Despite the efforts
of those at the scene and first responders, Billy
Ledoux could not be revived. Investigators think
there are people who know those responsible.
Other news. Surrey police think extortion might
be the motive behind shots being fired at a home
in the Panorama Ridge neighborhood. Someone took
shots at an executive -style home on Sunday,
the second such incident this month. A solar
-powered trailer with a camera was set up following
the first shooting. Police are not specifically
commenting. on whether this is related to recent
business extortions in the Southeast Asian community.
More than 80 truck drivers have been pulled off
the road following a three -day enforcement blitz
at various lower mainland locations. Police and
bylaw officers issued almost 200 tickets for
things like faulty brakes, wheels, and tires.

be hosting a large outdoor watch party for Sunday's
game against Mexico's Cruz Azul. The game will
