She was taken to hospital, where she was put on life support with what police called “non-survivable injuries.”

Police believe the shooting was targeted. Investigators have said they see no link to drugs or gangs but have not identified a motive.

It’s believed Nguyen worked at a food prep business called Feed Me Fit, located on the same block where the shooting occurred. The business was closed the day of the shooting.

Witnesses described seeing a dark-coloured Dodge SUV with no front licence plate being driven from the scene by a man in a hoodie.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the attack to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) if they wish to remain anonymous.
