Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Sep, 2015 09:45 AM

Vancouver police are investigating the city's thirteenth murder of the year.

Police say they responded shortly after 2 p.m. on Sunday to multiple calls of shots fired in a mall parking lot (on King Edward Avenue near Oak Street).

Officers arrived on scene to find a man they say was "clearly dead" in the passenger seat of a white sedan.

The area was busy with shoppers at the time.

No arrests have been made but police say the attack appears to have been targeted.
