The victim of the brazen Sunday afternoon shooting outside Vancouver International Airport (YVR) was “targeted.”
Hours after the shooting, Integrated Homicide Investigation Team spokesperson Sergeant Frank Jang told reporters that the victim was a 28-year-old man known to police.
“We know who he is,” Jang said at an evening press conference at YVR.
“We believe that his killing is linked to this ongoing gang conflict that we’ve seen throughout our region lately.”

Investigators said that at least two suspects were seen fleeing in an SUV that was later found on fire in Surrey.
Richmond RCMP Chief Superintendent Will Ng said that the suspects shot at officers who attempted to intercept the getaway car. While a cruiser was struck, no officers were injured.
