The Lower Mainland’s gang violence continues with a shooting in East Vancouver late Tuesday.
Vancouver Police Sgt. Randy Fincham said one man was injured in the targeted shooting near Oxford and Skeena.
The 33-year-old victim, who’s well-known to police, was “in the back yard of a home suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to hospital and underwent surgery, and is expected to survive,” Fincham said.
“While the motive for the attack has yet to be determined, the victim is well known to police and the shooting is believed to be gang-related,” Fincham said. “Police are conducting an ongoing search for witnesses and video and the VPD continues to investigate.”
