Mounties are still trying to identify the suspect in last week’s drive-by shooting on Canada Way near Sperling Avenue.
The shooting, which took place late Jan. 15 outside a Chinese restaurant in Burnaby, is being investigated by the RCMP’s serious crime unit. At this time, police have been unable to find the shooter and are continuing their investigation in “an effort to identify a suspect (or suspects),” Sgt. Peter Thiessen told the NOW in an email.
Police believe this shooting was intentional and that the target was the owner of a black BMW, which was parked outside the restaurant. The registered owner of the vehicle is well known to police across the Lower Mainland, Thiessen added.
The suspect fired several shots into the car but no one was inside the vehicle at the time. No injuries were reported.
