Burned-out vehicle in Port Moody linked to Coquitlam shooting, police say
CBC
Police say they believe a suspicious vehicle fire in Port Moody, B.C., is connected to a shooting that occurred minutes before in nearby Coquitlam.
A statement from Port Moody police says officers responded to a report of a silver sedan that was found burning on Saturday after being abandoned. The discovery was made after Coquitlam RCMP responded to shots fired at a vehicle in the 1600-block of Chickadee Place around 4:40 p.m. PT.
The victim, who was not known to police, was taken hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries and later released. His nine-year-old son, who police say was in the back seat, was not injured.
Mounties in Coquitlam say they're now investigating any connection between the burned vehicle and the shooting, which may have been targeted.
The RCMP say in a statement that there is not enough evidence to establish or rule out a link between the shooting and gang conflict in the Lower Mainland, "but police do not believe this was a completely random act.''
They say a silver sedan with a description matching the burned vehicle was seen leaving the area.
Police are asking anyone who was in the Westwood Plateau or Maude Court areas between 4:20 and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday to come forward with any information.
