On Dec. 24, 2019, just before 11 p.m., North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP officers were called to an assault near Trunk Road and Canada Avenue.

Both victims were taken to a local hospital but Shurie was soon pronounced dead. Williams died in hospital on Dec. 28.
Investigators believe the attack was targeted and are pursuing several leads, including two male persons of interest.
