Vancouver police are warning young women to stay clear of known gangsters following the shooting of a West Vancouver woman at a gas station.

Mia Deakin, 28, and a 27-year-old male companion were outside their vehicle at a gas station on East Hastings Street just after 7 p.m. on Sunday when they were fired upon by an unknown shooter in an SUV.

Deakin, the daughter of reality TV star Jody Claman of The Real Housewives of Vancouver, was shot in the shoulder and is listed in stable condition following surgery.

The male, shot in the hand, was treated and released. Following his short stay in hospital, police arrested the wounded man on an outstanding warrant, said Vancouver police spokesman Sgt. Randy Fincham at a Monday press briefing. He did not have details on the nature of the warrant.

“We do believe this was a targeted shooting,” said Fincham of the incident at the Chevron on East Hastings between Vernon and Clark. “It was not random.”

He said police do not know the motive, and no arrests have been made. “We are looking at gang connections.”

On Sunday, several witnesses reported seeing a man running from an SUV where an unknown gunman was firing what many described as a high-powered rifle from a back seat window. Witnesses say they heard about eight to 10 shots before the SUV went east on Hastings Street.

Police warned young women to stay away from people with drug and gang connections.

“It is an extremely dangerous lifestyle choice,” said Fincham. “We have seen an increase in women getting involved in gangland violence.”

Deakin, who goes by the name of Mia Claman on social media, is recovering at Vancouver General Hospital.

Other cast members of the show shared wishes for Deakin’s recovery on social media.

“My heart goes out to the Claman family at this time,” wrote Ronnie Negus. “Spoke to Jody several times last night ... We are all praying.”

Mary Zilba, who clashed frequently with Jody Claman on the show, also sent best wishes to the family.

“My prayers go out to Mia Claman and her family and my hope is for her speedy recovery,” said Zilba. “Lots of media wanting my reaction and regardless of what transpired in the past, I don’t wish ill will on anyone. This is very tragic.”

Lark Productions, which produces The Real Housewives of Vancouver, released a short statement Monday, saying: “We are sorry to hear the news of the events of last night. We wish Mia a very speedy recovery.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 604-717-2541 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
