Kamloops RCMP say a woman in her 30s who was shot at a house on the North Shore last Sunday has succumbed to her injuries in hospital.

The woman was taken to Royal Inland Hospital after the May 21 shooting in the 800-block of Valhalla Drive. They say she had been on life-support until earlier today, May 26, when she was taken off and succumbed to her injuries.

“This is a sad outcome to an act of violence now deemed a homicide,” Kamloops RCMP Superintendent Jeff Pelley, said.

“Resources from our Serious Crime Unit, Forensic Identification Service Unit, General Investigation Support Team, Crime Reduction Unit, and frontline officers continue to progress the investigation.”

Mounties believe the shooting was an isolated incident and say the woman and the person or people who shot her were known to each other.

“[We] have been in contact with the victim’s family and are requesting their privacy be respected,” Sergeant Nestor Baird of the Serious Crime Unit, added.

Mounties told RadioNL that a Tuesday evening police presence on Cornwall Street, about three kilometres away, was connected to the shooting.

They say no further details will be released at this time, though anyone with information is being told to contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2023-17869.
