Teen caught in crossfire on Vancouver street has died: coroner’s service
Vancouver police have assigned more than 50 officers to the investigation of a brazen gunfight that killed a 15-year-old boy after he was struck by a bullet while passing in a vehicle with his family.
BC Coroners Service spokesman Andy Watson confirmed the teen died Monday following the shooting on Saturday evening.
A 23-year-old man who was the target of the attack has died in hospital, Chief Const. Adam Palmer said.
The boy was with his parents in the vehicle when he was struck as shots were fired between at least two people, Palmer told a news conference earlier Monday, adding he was heartbroken that the boy wasn’t expected to survive.
