SURREY RCMP announced on Monday that they have arrested two men involved in a shooting which took place in Cloverdale almost two years ago in December 2022.
On December 17, 2022, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of shots fired in the 6400-block of 188 Street. Police located a 44-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds who was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The investigation was assumed by the Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit (SCU) at the onset, as investigators sought information which would bring to light the circumstances behind the shooting.
Police said investigators worked tirelessly and were able to determine that this shooting was that of a mistaken identity. The victim has since recovered from their gunshot injuries.
For the following 23 months, investigators worked relentlessly in peeling back the layers of the investigation. Surrey RCMP SCU, with support from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), were able to identify the suspects.
On November 7, 2024, charges were approved against 23-year-old Juan Pablo Segovia-Sanhueza from the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, and 26-year-old Terry Rodney Jeffrey McDonald from Surrey.
“As Canada’s national police service, the reach of the Surrey RCMP spans across the country,” said Sgt. Andre Johnny of the Serious Crime Unit. “Mounties are known to always get their man, wherever they might be, and this case is a perfect example.”
Juan Pablo Segovia-Sanhueza was charged with attempted murder with a firearm and discharging a firearm with intent to wound or disfigure.
Terry Rodney Jeffrey McDonald was charged with attempted murder with a firearm, discharging a firearm with intent to wound or disfigure, and arson damaging property.
Both men are currently in custody.
As this matter is now before the courts, no further information will be released, police said.
