A man was found dead at the scene of a shooting in Burnaby on Saturday.
Burnaby RCMP officers responded to a report of gunshots in the area of North Road and Cameron Street around 5 p.m.
When they arrived, they found the victim dead inside of a vehicle in a parkade. Cpl. Mike Kalanj said investigators believe the shooting was targeted and that there was no further risk to the public.
B.C.’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) identified the victim as 29-year-old Gagandeep Sandhu, of Abbotsford, late Sunday afternoon.
About 15 minutes later after the shooting was reported, police were notified of a vehicle on fire in the area of Bainbridge Avenue and Greenwood Street — an approximate 10-minute drive away from the scene of the shooting. “IHIT is working closely with the RCMP’s forensic experts to process both scenes and to determine if they are related,” said Sgt. Timothy Pierotti, of IHIT.
“Homicide investigators are looking for witnesses or anyone with dash-cam video in the Lougheed Mall and surrounding areas,” Kalanj said.
“If you have dash-cam video in the area between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., please contact IHIT.
“Also, if you were in the area of Bainbridge Avenue and Greenwood Street between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. and have dash-cam video, IHIT investigators would like to hear from you.”
