The brother of a Chilliwack man killed on Oct. 22 was himself killed on Remembrance Day in North Surrey.
The RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said the victim of a killing in the 10700-block of 124 Street in Surrey on Nov. 11 was 30-year-old Andrew Baldwin.
It was three weeks before that, when 27-year-old Keith Matthew Baldwin was shot in downtown Chilliwack. He died later in hospital.

It was at 4:52 p.m. on Nov. 11 when Surrey RCMP received a call for assistance from the home on 124 Street. When officers arrived on scene, they found Andrew Baldwin unresponsive with critical injuries. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
