VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Vancouver Police are investigating the city’s thirteenth homicide of the year.
Police say they responded shortly after 2 p.m. on Sunday to multiple calls of shots fired in a mall parking lot on King Edward Avenue near Oak Street.
Officers arrived on scene to find a man they say was “clearly dead” in the passenger seat of a white sedan.
The area was busy with shoppers at the time.
No arrests have been made but police say the attack appears to have been targeted.
VPD Constable Brian Montague is reserving comments on a number of details, in order not to jeopardize possible witness statements.
“I’m not at liberty to go into any detail as to how many shots were fired, where the victim was hit. Those sort of details, we’re going to keep those confidential at this point and we won’t be sharing that until we have a chance to speak with everybody.”
They have not confirmed the victim’s identity.
