On Friday morning, police released images of the white Mercedes which was believed to be involved in the fatal shooting and subsequent police chase. The car had a reportedly stolen licence plate numbered BZBP 153.
Macnab was gunned down at a picnic table in a parking lot near the New Directions halfway house.
“The incident is under investigation,” Waterloo police Insp. Craig Ambrose told Global News. “I can’t say that it relates to a previous beef or anything like that but I can say that it doesn’t appear to be a random attack.”
