The Independent Investigations Office is investigating after a man died following an interaction with police Monday morning.
Vancouver Police responded shortly before 8 a.m. Monday after a man was seen acting erratically near East Hastings Street and Dunlevy Avenue.
Following an interaction with police, the man was taken into custody. He then went into medical distress and lost consciousness.
Despite life-saving attempts, the man died at the scene.
On Thursday in the early morning hours of 3am, three suspects entered the Coop Gas Bar located 34900 block of Lougheed Hwy. The suspects used two chop saws to cut open the ATM and steal and undisclosed amount of cash.
No one was injured as a result of this shooting, but police are looking for more witnesses and, in particular, anyone who might have dashcam or surveillance video of any vehicles or people in the area at the time.
Mounties believe that it was a targeted shooting. A dark coloured pickup truck was observed fleeing the scene and investigators have located an abandoned vehicle suspected of being involved in the incident in Surrey.
Frontline officers arrived on scene and located a 45-year-old man suffering from serious injuries. The man was transported to hospital where he later died of his injuries.
