Kelowna RCMP are looking for witnesses as well as dash cam footage of Monday’s shooting incident.

On Monday, March 29, a man was reportedly shot at the parking lot of Global Fitness Gym at approximately 12:35 p.m. He was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses told police a man was seen fleeing the scene in a four-door sedan, driving northbound on Burtch Road. At approximately 12:55 p.m., a witness reported that a grey Chevrolet Malibu was abandoned and burning on the shoulder of Longhill Road in Kelowna’s Glenmore area.

Kelowna RCMP said investigators believe the Malibu is associated with the shooting and that it was driven north to Glenmore Drive from the shooting scene before it was abandoned and set on fire.

“Kelowna RCMP is seeking public assistance for information related to the shooting or the suspect vehicle in order to advance the ongoing investigation,” Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy said.

“In particular, we are looking to speak to anyone who was travelling in these areas, including the North Glenmore area between 12:35 p.m. and 1 p.m. on March 29.”
