New details emerge about targeted Vernon shooting
Residents of a Vernon townhouse complex where a man was shot dead are still trying to process the attack. The brazen daylight shooting happened early Friday evening at a time when many in the complex would have just been sitting down to dinner and the shopping plaza across the street is usually busy with customers. – Jun 6, 2022

Police believe a now-torched BMW was used in a fatal Vernon shooting and they are hoping that anyone who saw it can help in their investigation.

The shooting happened just before 6 p.m., on Friday, along the 5300 block of 25th Avenue and the black 2004 BMW 320i was seen in the aftermath.

“Surveillance footage uncovered during the investigation captured a small, black, four-door sedan fleeing the scene at the time of the shooting,” RCMP said in a press release.
