The Penticton RCMP is looking for community assistance after an early morning shooting in downtown Penticton on Monday, April 11.
According to a press release issued by the RCMP, a vehicle of interest was identified from doorbell camera video from the area of Westminster Avenue and Bassett Street.
The RCMP are currently working through additional video footage to put together quality images and to determine the make and model of the vehicle before it can be shared with the public.
No injuries have been reported, however on further review of the videos, RCMP believe an individual may have been targeted. That person has not yet been identified or come forward, said police.
“The only damage that we have uncovered is ‘cross-fire’ — for lack of better wording — where an unoccupied and un-involved vehicle was struck,” said Const. Dayne Lyons, Penticton RCMP media liaison.
