The Vernon North Okanagan RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit is continuing to investigate a shooting that took place Friday, June 3 shortly before 6 p.m. in the parking lot of a condominium complex in the 5300-block of 25th Avenue.

A 38-year old man died in what is described as a targeted event.

Surveillance footage uncovered during the investigation captured a small, black, four-door sedan fleeing the scene at the time of the shooting.

“We’re releasing a stock photo as well as a surveillance photo of this vehicle and are asking the public for any information that may assist in furthering the investigation,” said Const.
