Flowers and messages have appeared on Anderson Road just off Cooney where a 29-year-old Richmond man was gunned down.

“Stay Golden” – that was the message on a makeshift memorial that has appeared at the site where a 29-year-old Richmond man was gunned down last week.

Jackie Giang Giang Tran was found suffering from bullet wounds just before 5 a.m. on Sept. 24. He died from his injuries at the scene at Cooney and Anderson roads in Richmond’s city centre.

Flowers with messages and tea candles now surround a tree at the site.

One ribbon reads “From Jr. to Jax – Stay Golden” while another one reads “Forever in our hearts, eternal love: Kara, Michelle, Sarah.”

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is investigating the death, working with Richmond RCMP, BC Coroners Service and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS).

They sent out an appeal for dashcam footage from anyone who was parked or driving between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Anderson Road, Cooney Road, Eckersley Road and Park Road.
