A teen has died following a Friday afternoon drive-by shooting in Abbotsford.
Police do not believe the shooting to be random.
A call to 911 at 3:20 p.m. reported shots had been fired in the 32500-block of George Ferguson Way.
Reports from the scene suggest the shooting may have occurred around the corner on Oriole Crescent.
The victim apparently was able to drive his vehicle, a white Chrysler 300, onto George Ferguson Way before crashing into the front yard of a home.
Abbotsford police spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald said a severely injured 18-year-old male was flown to hospital by air ambulance but he later died.
As of 6 p.m., police had no suspects in custody, but “numerous APD resources have been deployed into the area to search for the suspect and to investigate the incident,” MacDonald added in a statement.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has now taken charge of the investigation.
