Police say the man, who has not been identified, was taken to hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Shortly after the shooting, RCMP were notified of a dark-coloured sedan on fire nearby.

The Integrated Homicide Investigations Team is now investigating and Cpl. Frank Jang says they believe the shooting is a targeted incident.

Cones and tape up a little further at what looks like a driveway. Markers still on the ground as well. A car was found burned just less than 2km away from here after the shooting, and IHIT says a car was seen speeding away after shots fired. Both believed to be the same car. pic.twitter.com/kGPHM1f5ZJ
