BURNABY, B.C. — Homicide investigators hope tips from the public can provide more leads in the latest fatal shooting in Metro Vancouver.

A statement from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says 32-year-old Chris Kenworthy died Wednesday.

He was shot while sitting in his vehicle in a residential area of southeast Burnaby.

Sgt. Frank Jang says Kenworthy is known to police and the shooting was targeted, but it's not yet known if it was gang-related.


Police also haven't determined if Kenworthy's murder might be linked to a targeted double shooting Thursday in Surrey that killed a woman and injured a man.

Homicide investigators want to speak to anyone who has information about either deadly attack.
