"It is early in the investigation, but police are making every effort to establish the motive for the shooting. We ask that the public exercise vigilance, while we work to find justice for our victims and their families," said Cpl. Meghan Foster with IHIT in a release.
Police forensics teams have been working overnight at 159th Street and 110th Avenue, examining a car with bullet holes and broken windows.
They believe the homicide is independent from other recent acts of violence in the Lower Mainland.
