Suspect in Starlight Casino shooting has died

The suspect involved in a standoff earlier this month with New Westminster Police has died in hospital.

The Independent Investigations Office, which assumed control of the case after the man was shot November 8th, has confirmed he died Sunday night.

The man believed to be armed with a handgun was shot in the parking lot of the Starlight casino following a nearly five-hour stand-off.

His family has been notified, but his name has not been released.
 
Members of the IIO are still investigating the circumstances leading up to the now-fatal shooting.
