Burnaby RCMP are searching for two suspects following a targeted shooting at Brentwood Town Centre.
According to police, the 51-year-old victim was found in the driver seat of his Dogde Durango on Saturday suffering from gunshot wounds to his arm and thigh. Officers were called to the area around 8:30 p.m. after receiving calls that shots were fired near the McDonald’s at Brentwood mall.
The victim, who police believe recently moved to the Lower Mainland from another province, was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Burnaby Staff Sgt. Rob Marks said the victim was meeting with two men prior to the shooting, and police are now trying to locate these suspects.
Investigators said the shooting is likely targeted but couldn’t say whether or not is was gang related or connected to the drug trade. The victim is not known to police.
