Not long after the shooting, police said, a Ford F150 was found on fire near 232nd Street and 76th Avenue, which is about a kilometre from where the shooting was reported.
The truck matched the description of a suspect vehicle given by witnesses, police said.
"Investigators continue to canvass the area for witnesses and residential video," says Sgt. Timothy Pierotti of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team in a news release.
