THE mother of Aisha Harouya, 21, of Surrey is appealing for witnesses to help advance the investigation into her daughter’s homicide.
On July 25, 2022, Surrey RCMP received a report of a deceased young adult woman located in a parking lot in the 11100-block of 124 Street. Police identified the woman as Aisha Harouya. In consultation with the BC Coroners Service, Aisha’s death was deemed to be the result of foul play, resulting in the deployment of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
Since November 2022, IHIT has continued to work closely in partnership with the Surrey RCMP, the RCMP Forensic Identification Service and the BC Coroners Service.
Through extensive investigation, IHIT learned that Aisha was last seen alive on July 24, 2022, in the area of 100 Avenue and Whalley Boulevard, Surrey.
“She will never get the chance to go to college, get married, have kids, she will have none of that. I will never hear her say the words “Mommy” or “I Love You” ever again,” says Ashni Ram, mother of Aisha. “She loved animals and the love of her life was her dog Lexi. She was going into makeup and hair and her dream was to be a makeup artist and move to LA. She had a passion for fashion.”
Now, a year and a half later, the family of Aisha Harouya is appealing to the public for witnesses to come forward.
“I am pleading with the public, at this time, if you have any information or can remember seeing my daughter Aisha, or anyone she was talking to, walking with, if she got into a car with anyone between the dates of July 23rd and July 24th, 2022 to please come forward,” says Ashni Ram. “We need justice served not only for my daughter but for other young women to end violence against women. Our family needs closure and peace so any information no matter how big or small might help.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
