One man is dead after a daylight shooting in a busy area of Langley, B.C., on Friday.

RCMP said shots were fired near the intersection of 88 Avenue and 202 Street, in the Walnut Grove area, just before 2 p.m. PT.

Police arrived to find an adult man who'd been shot.

He has since died from his injuries, according to a statement.

"Based on the investigative theory in this initial phase, this does not appear to be a random act," it read.

RCMP said the area around the crime scene will be taped off "for a significant amount of time."

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has also been called to investigate.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call theIHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or emailihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
