A man has been shot and killed in what Vancouver police say was a targeted attack.

Vancouver Police have identified the victim of this year’s 13th homicide as Amandeep Manj.

The 35-year-old was found dead in a vehicle in the underground parkade of the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel yesterday afternoon. Officers and paramedics attended and he was pronounced dead on scene.

A statement from Visintin issued Wednesday called the slaying "brazen."
