Vancouver police say one man was killed in what they believe was a targeted shooting in a downtown neighbourhood.

They say there have been no arrests.

Police say they were called to the Coal Harbour area Saturday night after numerous 9-1-1 calls about shots fired.

Const. Tania Visintin says the shooting occurred in a public area at about 8:30 p.m. outside Cardero’s restaurant near the Coal Harbour Quay.

She says the victim died despite efforts by police and emergency officials to save him.
