Comox Valley RCMP are asking the public for help identifying possible suspects after a drive-by BB gun shooting.
Police said the incident occurred around 3:40 p.m. May 4, after officers received a report that a man had been shot in the face with a BB-type gun while walking in the 680-block of Cliffe Avenue.
The incident resulted in a minor injury just below the man’s eye.
“This appears to be a targeted and completely unacceptable act of violence against a vulnerable member of our community,” said Const. Monika Terragni of the Comox Valley RCMP.
Investigators said they obtained surveillance images of a suspect vehicle described as a four-door orange-red Toyota sedan carrying at least three occupants. The licence plate was not visible.
The vehicle was last seen travelling up 8th Street and investigators believe the suspect was the front passenger.
Anyone with information, dashcam footage or surveillance video is asked to contact the Comox Valley RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
