SURREY, B.C. — A memorial of flowers, stuffed animals, condolence cards and cans of Orange Crush is growing for a 15-year-old Surrey, B.C., boy who died in a police shooting on Sunday.
Friends, family members and strangers, many of them crying, have stopped at the memorial not far from the site where the Surrey high school student was killed.
One man who stopped by the memorial said his son was good friends with the boy and they had been in same classes for years. Ajay Gupta, who stopped by the memorial to lay down flowers while wiping away tears, said one of his sons was the same age as the dead teen. The Independent Investigations Office said in a statement Monday that police told its investigators that there was a confrontation with the person shortly after officers arrived, shots were fired and the male died at the scene.
