The Surrey Police Service confirms 26-year-old Dilbag "Dylan" Hothi as the off-duty officer who died in an apparent self-inflicted gunshot Wednesday at a Langley shooting range.
More details are coming to light about the off-duty Surrey Police Service constable who took his own life at a Langley, B.C., gun range Wednesday. Witnesses included police officers.
Twenty-six-year-old Dilbag “Dylan” Hothi previously served in the military and worked as a Surrey RCMP officer, Surrey Police Service confirmed.
SPS Media Liaison Ian MacDonald told Global News Hothi had been off-duty since last August, suspended with pay and under investigation for breach of trust.
“It was a breach of trust investigation that was being fronted by the Surrey RCMP and was working its way through BC Prosecution Service,” MacDonald said.
Ron MacDonald with the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) says the incident may be linked to criminal allegations against Hothi.
The IIO is called in whenever police are involved in an incident wherein their action or inaction results in injury or death.
“Those are the types of facts we’re looking at and trying to determine,” MacDonald told Global News.
“We understand that police were there in response to the incident that the individual was involved in, perhaps prior to that incident occurring, but we’re not sure what if any interaction there was between police and this individual.”
