The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is investigating a fatal shooting in Burnaby on Wednesday night.
In a news release, Burnaby RCMP says that officers responded to reports of shots fired in the area of McKay Avenue and Kingsborough Street just after 6:30 p.m.
When police arrived, they located a male victim in the parking lot of the Station Square area of Metrotown.
The man died despite life-saving efforts.
IHIT is identifying the victim as 19-year-old Connor Sheriff in an effort to advance the investigation.
Sheriff was known to the police and is believed to have connections to the drug trade, IHIT said in a release.
“This was a targeted and brazen shooting in a high-traffic area,” Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT said in a release. “Those involved displayed a complete disregard for public safety.”
A short time after the shooting, police located a vehicle on fire in the area of Kingsway and Inman Avenue.
Investigators have confirmed the burnt vehicle is the suspect vehicle involved in the shooting.
Homicide investigators are looking for witnesses or anyone with dashcam video or CCTV in either area, McKay Avenue and Kingsborough Street, as well as Kingsway and Inman Avenue, between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., on Nov. 5, 2025.
