RICHMOND, B.C. — A man has died in a suspected targeted shooting in Richmond, B.C.

RCMP say the victim was found in a park in the Steveston neighbourhood at around 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

A statement from Richmond RCMP says the man died a short time later in hospital.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the case.

The deadly attack is the first in Richmond in 2021 and comes just two days after a targeted shooting in Surrey killed 24-year-old Gary Kang.
