Frontline officers attended and located evidence of a shooting outside of a residence in that area.

There is no evidence that anyone was injured in the shooting.

Investigators believe that this was not a random incident.

The person who was targeted in this shooting is known to police.

Further work will be done to determine if this shooting is connected to other violent incidents, or is connected to gang activity in the Lower Mainland Region.
