Homicide investigators are in Burnaby after a fatal shooting on Thursday night.
A man was shot and killed in the 6200 block of McKee Street just after 10 p.m., investigators say. The victim has been identified as 44-year-old Neal Pratap.
Officers were seen on Thursday night with guns drawn in the area of Byrne Creek.
One neighbour reported hearing a gunshot followed by a blood-curdling scream, then someone trying to break into their home.
Thursday’s shooting occurred close to the site of a targeted shooting that claimed the life of 32-year-old gang associate Chris Kenworthy. Investigators don’t think the two are linked.
