  • Vancouver police investigating homicide after two men shot in vehicle

Vancouver police are investigating a suspected homicide after two men were shot in a vehicle, which then collided with two other vehicles. 

A statement says police were called just before 9 p.m. on Friday to the city’s Sunset neighbourhood.

It says one man was taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and the second man, 25-year-old Hitkaran Johal, died at the scene of the crash.

Police say they believe the shooting was targeted and there is no ongoing public safety risk.

They say no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

A vehicle was set on fire near the shooting and investigators say they are working to determine if the two events are connected.
