The woman’s unborn child did not survive.

Vancouver police say shortly before 6 a.m., an unidentified person went to the home of a 31-year-old Vancouver woman on Industrial Avenue near Scotia Street and shot her.

The victim called 911 and the suspect left. Officers attended and found a 23-year-old Langley man had also been shot in the same apartment.

VPD spokesman Const. Jason Doucette says it is still early in the investigation but so far police believe this was a targeted shooting, unrelated to gang conflict.

They are not ruling out domestic violence as a motive.

“We want to find whoever is responsible for this and hold them accountable,” said Doucette.

Detectives are asking anyone with information to call police at 604-717-2541 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

No arrests have been made. Officers will remain in the area as the investigation continues.
