Police say the victim of a “brazen” daylight shooting outside a shopping centre in Delta, B.C., has died.
Delta Police say in a news release the shooting occurred in the parking lot of the Scottsdale Centre mall at 120th Street and 72nd Avenue on Saturday.
They are not releasing the victim’s name or any other identifying information.
Police say they are aware of speculation regarding whether a vehicle involved in another incident in Metro Vancouver may be linked to the incident.
But they say they cannot comment on a possible link at this time.
The victim has been identified as Bikramdeep Randhawa, 29, a correctional officer from Surrey.
“Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends, as they now start to deal with their loss,” Insp. Guy Leeson says in the statement.
Some shoppers at the mall were on lockdown for more than two hours while investigators collected evidence at the scene Saturday.
A large portion of the parking lot was cordoned off by police tape overnight and the police department thanks drivers for their patience after releasing the crime scene Sunday.
