On Sunday, April 28 at 6 p.m., Sohi’s family and friends will hold a candlelight vigil at Cypress Street and Marine Lane to seek justice for him.

THE Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said on Friday that their investigation of the homicide of Kulwinder Singh Sohi that occurred in White Rock Tuesday night continues.

IHIT said that on April 23 at 9:26 p.m., White Rock RCMP responded to a report of injured man in the 15400-block of Marine Drive. Officers along with BC Ambulance Emergency Health Services located a 26-year-old man, later identified as Sohi, on the White Rock Promenade, suffering from fatal stab wounds.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the investigation and continues to work closely in partnership with the White Rock RCMP, the BC Coroners Service and the Integrated Forensic Identification Services to advance the investigation.

IHIT said that witnesses described seeing Sohi in a physical altercation with the suspect, before giving chase eastbound on the promenade toward the parking lot adjacent to the Grand Chief Bernard Robert Charles (Pa-Kwach-Tun) Memorial Plaza.

“This occurred in a very public location. From our video review, we know there were many witnesses in the area. If you were there or parked in the area, now is the time to call IHIT,” said IHIT Sgt. Timothy Pierotti. “We will continue to work tirelessly, supported by the White Rock members as well as the other I-Teams, to identify, locate and arrest the person responsible for this tragedy.”

The suspect is described by witnesses as a black male, approximately 5’11, wearing a dark coloured hat and a grey hoodie.

IHIT is asking that any witnesses or anyone who was in the area of the White Rock Promenade east of the White Rock Pier or driving on Marine Drive on April 23 between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. with dash cameras or anyone who may have information regarding the homicide to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
