Abbotsford police responded to a shots fired call at a home in the 3200-block of Siskin Drive just after 12:35 p.m., said police spokesman Sgt. Paul Walker.

“The residence was known to police and the man deceased is well-known to police and connected to B.C.’s gang conflict,” said Walker.

The shooting was targeted, but not related to extortion.
