Homicide investigators and police forces across the Lower Mainland are co-ordinating a manhunt for a violent thief who is suspected in a domestic shooting and is believed to be armed and on the run in a stolen vehicle.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says Barry McQuarrie, 33, is believed to be driving a stolen 2008 Toyota Highlander with B.C. licence plate 338 JNP.
McQuarrie is wanted for questioning in a fatal Cloverdale shooting that is believed to be motivated by an ongoing domestic dispute.
Gregory Quesnelle 芒鈧�� a 32-year-old with a lengthy criminal record mostly related to property crime 芒鈧�� was found injured in a townhouse 17400-block 57th Avenue after police responded to reports of gunfire just after midnight on May 13.
Quesnelle was taken to hospital but died of his injuries.
IHIT investigators quickly put out an alert for McQuarrie, who allegedly fled the scene in a stolen KIA Borrego SUV. A criminal record search shows McQuarrie has a long list of property theft convictions and charges related to a shooting.
For police in Langely, this case must seem like d脙漏j脙 vu.
In 2005, police said Barry James McQuarrie, 24, a drug-addicted thief, was 芒鈧搒piralling out of control芒鈧� after a shooting in 91原创.
McQuarrie had 芒鈧搑eally become more volatile over the past two weeks. He芒鈧劉s armed and dangerous and he has to be brought in,芒鈧� 91原创 RCMP spokesman Dale Carr said at the time.
McQuarrie was a 芒鈧損erson of interest芒鈧� in the shooting of a 35-year-old man in 91原创芒鈧劉s Willoughby area in that incident.
芒鈧揌e is a known substance user,芒鈧� Carr added in 2005. 芒鈧揌e will take pretty much anything he can lay his hands on.芒鈧�
In that case, the victim fully recovered after surgery. After police caught McQuarrie in 2005 he was charged with aggravated assault, discharging a firearm with intent to wound, use of a firearm and possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose. He was found guilty.
In 2005, McQuarrie apparently tired of running, according to police. On Friday, IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Adam MacIntosh used social media call-outs on Twitter urging McQuarrie to turn himself in.
MacIntosh wouldn芒鈧劉t comment on details of McQuarrie芒鈧劉s criminal past, the nature of the relationship between McQuarrie and the victim, or whether other victims are receiving grief counselling, or if any children were traumatized at the crime scene.
芒鈧揥e are not speaking about his criminal records芒鈧� (domestic details) are not something we are speaking about now,芒鈧� MacIntosh said.
McQuarrie芒鈧劉s Facebook page shows him posing beside a white Maserati, flexing his tattooed arms, and listing his religious views as: 芒鈧揊-ck. the police.芒鈧�
His posts from 2012 say that he is 芒鈧搃n a relationship.芒鈧�
