Jan 8, 2024 | 10:59 AM

COQUITLAM, B.C. — A man injured in the latest shooting in the Metro Vancouver suburb of Coquitlam has died.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team joined the case after police say the 21-year-old victim shot on Saturday died from his injuries. 

The man’s name will not be released because police say the family has requested privacy.

Investigators say the shooting happened at a “busy area” of Westwood Street and Glen Drive in Coquitlam, where the victim was found with life-threatening injuries and taken to hospital. 

Homicide team spokesman Sgt. Timothy Pierotti says in a statement that the shooting was targeted and police are looking into whether a string of similar incidents are linked.
