Victim of fatal shooting ID'd

The victim of a brazen, fatal mid-day shooting earlier this week in a wealthy Vancouver neighbourhood has been identified.

Kaminder Rai, 32, was shot just before 1 p.m. on Thursday in Kerrisdale, on Marguerite Street near West 49th Avenue. He was taken to hospital in critical condition and passed away later in the day.

Rai was a realtor for nine years at Planet Group Realty. The company said it is "shocked and saddened" by his passing.

Investigators believe Rai's killing was not random.

The shooting — Vancouver's sixth of 2018 — forced two nearby schools to go into lockdown and shocked residents of the usually-quiet neighbourhood.

No arrests have been made as a result of the incident.
