Police arrived on scene and found a man in his 30s suffering from gunshot wounds. The man was pronounced dead on scene.
“At this point, it appears that the shooting occurred outside,” Const. Tyler Bell-Morena told reporters gathered in front of the home where the shooting happened.
Investigators said they believe the suspects involved fled the scene before officers arrived.
Cops released a photo of a vehicle of interest wanted in connection with the shooting. The vehicle was described as a red 2020 Honda Civic with gold trim and handles and a yellow racing strap on the front. The vehicle’s licence plate is DAPK 152, police added.
