MacDonald says on further investigation, shell casings were found near the scene, and a burned vehicle was found nearby on Nathan Avenue.

“At this point in time, we’re working to see if we can connect that and see if it was the suspect’s vehicle. Certainly the early indications would be that that would fit. It appears to be a stolen BMW from Surrey,” says MacDonald.
