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.
Then on Saturday at 4:45 p.m,, a black 2004 BMW 320i was reported abandoned and on fire along the 5300 block of Heywood Armstrong Road, Spallumcheen.
“We’re releasing a stock photo as well as a surveillance photo of this vehicle and are asking the public for any information that may assist in furthering the investigation,” said Const. Chris Terleski, media relations officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP.
Anyone who was travelling near these locations around those times on Friday and Saturday and who may have dashcam footage or information about this vehicle can contact the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP at 250-545-7171.
