Police identify 29-year-old Coquitlam, B.C., man as victim of fatal shooting
BURNABY, B.C. – Police have identified the man who was killed in a shooting in a Burnaby, B.C., neighbourhood.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation team says the victim was 29-year-old Christopher Hurtado, also known as Christopher Serrano, from the neighbouring community of Coquitlam.
Police were called to a residential area Tuesday night after a report of shots fired and arrived to find a man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
He was taken to hospital but did not survive.
Investigators say a dark coloured sedan was seen leaving the neighbourhood and hitting a parked vehicle around the time shots were fired.
Police believe the shooting was a targeted attack and IHIT is investigating.
