Homicide investigators have identified the victim of a brazen daylight shooting in Maple Ridge Saturday that left one man dead.
Police believe Darr Khunkhun, 41, was the victim of a targeted attack.
Khunkhun does not have a criminal record, but whether his death is linked to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict is still unclear, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Homicide investigators are working with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit to determine possible gang links.
Police were called to the parking lot of the Olympians at 226 Street and Lougheed Highway around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, to “numerous” calls reporting shots fired, according to Ridge Meadows RCMP.
Khunkhun was located with gunshot wounds at the scene, but despite the efforts of paramedics he died at the scene.
Police are now looking for a newer-model red Honda four-door sedan with a sunroof seen leaving the parking lot after the shooting.
Anyone with sees the car, has information on the shooting or has video shot in the area of the killing around 4:30 p.m. Saturday is asked to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
