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.
