A man has been killed in Burnaby, B.C., in what police are describing as a targeted shooting.

Officers found an injured man, who died at the scene despite emergency life-saving efforts from responders.

Police also found a burning vehicle on Buxton Street shortly after the shooting, and investigators are looking into whether the cases are linked.
