Police said the shooting appeared to be targeted, although Kumar did not have any obvious connections to a criminal lifestyle.

Vancouver police said Friday they believe there are people out there who know who is behind the homicide.

“We encourage those with knowledge of the suspects to come forward,” police spokesperson Const. Tania Visintin said.
