On  September 8, two young adults were seriously injured during an alleged assault that occurred during a road rage incident in Mission. Investigators confirmed that the male suspect was Johnathan Hebrada-Walters. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has said that they believe the homicide was related to the BC Gang Conflict. There is not believed to be any connection between the road rage incident and the homicide of Hebrada-Walters.
