Homicide investigators have identified the victim of a fatal shooting in Chilliwack earlier this week.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says 42-year-old Christine Denham of Chilliwack was the woman shot at her home in the 9400-block of Victor Street around 1 p.m. on Tuesday.
Denham was rushed to hospital in critical condition, but died of her injuries on Friday.
IHIT said the shooting is not believed to be random, but that there were no apparent links at this point to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.
