The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been deployed to Abbotsford for what is being described as a targeted killing.
Abbotsford police say crews were called to reports of a possible shooting in the area near Bates Road and Harris Road just before 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Officers arrived to find a single man, already dead, said a police media release.
The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) says it has now handed the case over to homicide investigators.
IHIT’s Cpl. Frank Jang said he could confirm the victim was shot.
The victim has not yet been identified, and so far there’s no information about any possible suspect.
