Police arrived on scene and found a man in his 30s suffering from gunshot wounds. The man was pronounced dead on scene.

“At this point, it appears that the shooting occurred outside,” Const. Tyler Bell-Morena told reporters gathered in front of the home where the shooting happened.

Investigators said they believe the suspects involved fled the scene before officers arrived.

Cops released a photo of a vehicle of interest wanted in connection with the shooting. The vehicle was described as a red 2020 Honda Civic with gold trim and handles and a yellow racing strap on the front. The vehicle’s licence plate is DAPK 152, police added.

“That vehicle is on file as stolen,” Bell-Morena told reporters. “The occupants of that vehicle of interest … should be considered armed and dangerous.”

Police don’t believe the shooting was random.

Investigators haven’t yet confirmed whether the suspects and victim were known to one another.

“Right now, the working theory is more than one suspect. That is subject to change,” Bell-Morena told reporters Friday.

No other injuries were reported.
