‘We’re determined to stop the violence’ Kevin Diakiw & Tracy Holmes
Wednesday, police confirmed that several witnesses called 911 around 1 a.m. April 15 to report an exchange of gunfire between a red pickup and a grey SUV westbound on 66 Avenue at 128 Street. Shell casings were recovered from the scene. Police have no evidence that anyone was injured, and have not conclusively linked the incident to more than a dozen others logged since March 9 – three in Delta, 17 in Surrey.
Black Press
A spree of shooting incidents in Surrey and Delta that has resulted in several uncooperative victims is being blamed on a drug turf war. And just 12 hours after authorities from both municipalities hosted a press conference on the issue Tuesday, the incident tally climbed another notch.
However, “it appears to be along the same line as the others,” Cpl. Bert Paquet told Peace Arch News. Tuesday afternoon, Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy and Delta deputy Chief Lyle Beaudoin announced that two groups are responsible for the spate of violence. “The groups are of South Asian and Somalian descent,” Fordy told reporters. “We believe these two groups are competing over
drug turf and have chosen to resolve their differences in a way that jeopardizes public safety. “While both the victims and suspects in these cases are determined to settle their differences outside the law, we are determined to stop the violence.” Between 5 a.m. last Friday and 1 a.m. Wednesday alone, six incidents were logged. i see page 4

June Iida holds a picture of her son, Dario Bartoli, who was murdered in December. A tattoo of his name, in his own handwriting, adorns her wrist.
Investigators provide little information since Dec. 13 attack in park
Tragic death spurs mother to action Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
Every so often, June Iida will see a group of teens walking down the street and, for a split second, expect to see her son among them. It’s been four months since her only child, Dario Bartoli, was killed after an early-morning attack in South Surrey, and Iida said at times, it still doesn’t feel real. “He was really funny, a very humorous boy,” Iida recalled of the popular 15-year-old with a “heart of gold.”
“He was very positive all the time. Everybody looked up to him… If you talk to any one of his friends, every single one will say ‘Dario was my best friend.’” Details of the Dec. 13 attack – and the subsequent investigation – have been scarce. Police suggest an “alcohol-fuelled” altercation took place in or near Bakerview Park at 18 Avenue and 154 Street, leaving Dario with critical injuries. Dario, an Earl Marriott student, was transported to Peace Arch Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries later that morning.
A second teen, who was with Dario at the time, was not injured. After repeated requests for an update on the investigation ever since, an IHIT spokesperson told Peace Arch News Wednesday the investigative team would be meeting this week to discuss what new information they can share. Iida said she tries to not let the apparent lack of progress in the investigation frustrate her, instead focusing her energy on what she describes as “Dario’s work.” i see page 8
White Rock city council approved its deputy-mayor rotation list this week, with one councillor noticeably absent from the list and no public explanation on the matter from the mayor. Coun. David Chesney was the only member of council not included on the rotation list tabled at Monday’s city council meeting. And though he wasn’t addressed by name during open discussions of the list, a fellow councillor expressed disappointment and did not support its approval. “I think that all members of council deserve the right to have the deputy-mayor rotation,” Coun. Helen Fathers said. “I think it’s unfair to say the least, and I will not be supporting it.” Fathers was interrupted by Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who warned the discussions on the deputy-mayor list were made in-camera, and not to be further discussed in public. Chesney later told Peace Arch News he could not comment about why he wasn’t on the list because discussions were behind closed doors. i see page 4
