Cones and tape up a little further at what looks like a driveway. Markers still on the ground as well. A car was found burned just less than 2km away from here after the shooting, and IHIT says a car was seen speeding away after shots fired. Both believed to be the same car. pic.twitter.com/kGPHM1f5ZJ
