The Vancouver man who died of multiple gunshot wounds in North Surrey's Bolivar Heights neighbourhood Friday afternoon has been identified as 24-year-old Christopher Reddy.
Reddy was gunned down in the street, in the 13100-block of 111th Avenue, at about 3:40 p.m.
"This is gang-related and certainly targeted," said Sgt. Peter Thiessen, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Thiessen added Reddy was "well-known" to police throughout the Lower Mainland.
If investigators know what the Vancouver man was doing in these parts when he was killed, they're not letting on.
"He does have a connection to that part of Surrey," Thiessen confirmed, but he wouldn't divulge what that connection was.
Reddy has been described in media reports as a gangster.
As for his affiliations, Thiessen said, "We're still working on that."
Meantime, homicide investigators pored over the crime scene until Sunday evening, hunting for clues.
"As a result of the extensive search, there is no indication that any homes or citizens' vehicles were impacted by this shooting and no innocent bystanders were injured," Thiessen said.
