On July 25, 2022, Jordan Daniel Goggin attacked and shot four people between midnight and 5:45 a.m.

Wynn and Furness were both killed, a woman was seriously injured, and another man was shot in the leg. Police shot Goggin shortly after the last attack, killing him.

In his remarks at the vigil, Pastor Leith White talked about the lack of services for homeless people.

香蕉视频直播淭hey are indeed vulnerable, and were exceeding vulnerable last July,香蕉视频直播 White commented.

White said addressing homelessness 香蕉视频直播渞equires a community to respond, a community to engage [to be] a community that will determine that it is not acceptable that there are individuals without a shelter, without a home and unable to change their circumstances on their own.香蕉视频直播

White read a statement from the Wynn family that described him as a 香蕉视频直播済ift,香蕉视频直播 always there to help his parents without ever asking, and 香蕉视频直播渁 terrific big brother.香蕉视频直播

At the time of his death, Paul was in recovery and showing signs of progress, his family said.

香蕉视频直播淗e went from what would be described as rock bottom to writing amazing letters. Some of these letters were about what he went through in his years on the streets and how sorry he was for letting everybody down.香蕉视频直播

Stewart Furness, Steven香蕉视频直播檚 father renewed his call for a new 香蕉视频直播渓ow-barrier香蕉视频直播 space for homeless people in Langley City, a call he said he has made in meetings with all levels of government, to no avail.
