The Fort St. John RCMP is continuing to investigate a homicide that occurred a week ago.
Mounties reported that on the evening of January 8th at around 7:45 three associated vehicles were parked on the east side of a convenience store at 90th Street and 100th Avenue.
Those vehicles are described as a white two-door BMW, a blue Ford Edge, and a dark colored sedan with tinted windows.
Witnesses said a fourth vehicle pulled up to the gathering, and occupants fired multiple shots at the white BMW.
According to police, all four vehicle departed the scene, with the BMW coming to a stop after hitting a parked vehicle on 96A Avenue near 90th Street.
Mounties have confirmed the driver of the white BMW, Norman Chase Smith, succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Police are continuing to try and identify the passenger of the white BMW, who was seen getting out of the vehicle and into the dark coloured sedan after the shooting.
Police say this person is not considered a suspect, and police want to confirm their safety.
Two residences were stuck by bullets during the shooting during the shooting, and no injuries were sustained by residents in the neighbourhood.
Mounties believe the shooting was a targeted attack connected to the ongoing BC gang conflict.
The Fort St. John RCMP is also seeking the public assistance in identifying the dark sedan, the passenger from the white BMW, and the suspect vehicle.
