Nearly one year after a double-shooting in Langley, B.C., that left a 41-year-old man dead, a suspect has been charged with second-degree murder.

Authorities said they found two men shot after responding to report of gunfire on 202B Street in the early morning hours of Aug. 2, 2024.

One of the victims, Langley resident Dillan Unger, succumbed to his injuries in hospital.

On Friday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced charges against Stephen Johnson.

“Investigators can confirm that Mr. Unger and Mr. Johnson were known to each other,” IHIT said in a news release. “Mr. Johnson remains in custody.”

The accused is also charged with four counts of attempted murder, one count of aggravated assault, one count of using a firearm in the commission of an offence, and one count of reckless discharge of a firearm.

Authorities have never commented on a possible motive in Unger’s killing. IHIT said it will not be providing any further details while the case is before the courts.
