CHILLIWACK, B.C. — A 33-year-old man has been killed in what police say appears to be a targeted shooting in Chilliwack, B.C.

A release from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the attack was not random and was likely linked to a disagreement that occurred at around 7 p.m. Monday.

Dave Williams suffered several gunshot wounds and died at the scene, despite the best efforts of paramedics.

Officers investigated early into Tuesday morning at the house on Princess Avenue in downtown Chilliwack.

Sgt. Stephanie Ashton says a number of witnesses have already come forward and investigators are piecing together the circumstances leading to the shooting.

No arrests have been made and Ashton has not said if a suspect has been identified.
