Homicide investigators have identified the victim of a fatal shooting in Coquitlam, B.C. as a 45-year-old man from Burnaby.
Donald Kelly was found wounded inside a vehicle just after 10 p.m. Friday by officers responding to reports of shots fired in the area of Sylvan Place and Riverview Crescent.
The victim was taken to hospital where he died of his injuries.
Members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team have taken over the case.
They believe Kelly's murder was targeted, but there is no evidence connecting the death to other homicides in the region. Kelly was known to police.
Police also found a burnt grey 2018 Chrysler 300 sedan a short distance away in the area of Mariner Way and Dartmoor Drive.
