Racial targeting ‘not ruled out’ in repeated B.C. stabbings, 1 of them fatal

Police say they are “not ruling out” the idea that South Asian men were specifically targeted in two high-profile stabbings in White Rock, Sunday and Tuesday.

Victims in both stabbings were South Asian. The suspect in both cases is described by police as a five-foot-eleven Black male in a grey hoodie and dark-coloured hat. Shortly before 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, White Rock RCMP received a report of a man suffering from apparent stab wounds in the 15400-block of Marine Drive. Despite lifesaving measures provided by first responders on scene, Sohi did not survive, police said.According to sources who came forward, there was an altercation between Sohi and the suspect. The victim ran east on the promenade from where he was stabbed and made his way to the parking lot adjacent to the plaza.

“We will continue to work tirelessly, supported by the White Rock members as well as the other I-Teams, to identify, locate and arrest the person responsible for this tragedy.”
