Update: Jan. 29 – Vancouver Police have released a surveillance video of two suspects they believe may be responsible for serious vandalism of a skateboard park.

Police believe one of the men brought a gas can to the tunnel.

Police also released a still image of one of the men from the surveillance video. He is described as white, around 30 years old, with a medium build and short, cropped hair. He was wearing a dark, varsity-style jacket with brown sleeves, dark pants and runners, and may have been carrying a pair of work boots.

Previous story: Jan. 25 – A lasting tribute to a victim of senseless gun violence now has to be rebuilt after vandals struck.

The Leeside Tunnel Skateboard Park was created by volunteers in memory of Lee Matasi, an aspiring artist and skateboarder who was shot and killed nearly nine years ago.

The Leeside Skate Park went up in flames Wednesday evening.

Local skateboarders are outraged that anyone would set the park on fire.

The tunnel, off Hwy 1 near Hastings Street, was originally meant to be part of a transit loop.

When that plan was abandoned, local artist and skater Lee Matasi brought in some ramps and turned it into one of the city’s only free, covered skate parks.

But in 2005, Matasi was shot and killed by a stranger outside a Vancouver nightclub. The park was named in his memory.

Skateboarders fundraised close to $25,000 and were just getting ready to give the tunnel a facelift when it went up in flames.

The tires and structures they brought in were destroyed in the fire, and the tunnel is now covered in soot and unusable.

While the cause of the fire is still unclear, many in the skateboarding community believe it was the work of vandals.

They say they hope those responsible will be charged. Their focus is now on rebuilding.
