NEW WESTMINSTER (NEWS1130) - Homicide Investigators have blocked off part of a quiet neighbourhood in New Westminster after a deadly shooting Monday night.  The gunfire happened right in front of the victim's young son.

Police were called out to 10th and Cornwall Streets after 8 p.m. where they discovered a man suffering from gunshot wounds.  His body was found lying next to his car.  Inside the vehicle was the victim's three-year-old son, who likely sat as the shooting unfolded before his eyes.

Corporal Dale Carr with Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says while the victim was not known to police necessarily, this shooting definitely was not random.  "For one reason or another, this looks very targeted.  It looks as though the individuals or individual responsible, although we are uncertain if it is one person at this time, was clearly focused on the deceased."

The young boy was not harmed and is now being cared for by his mother.

Carr adds this latest shooting is similar to another one that happened back in February 2009 when Nicole Alemy was gunned down in North Surrey with her four-year-old son in the backseat.

No word if the two cases are linked.
