IHIT is seeking dashcam footage from anyone who was in the area of the 31300-block of Ridgeview Drive on Monday, October 27, between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.

Surveillance video purportedly circulating on social platforms shows a man in black clothes getting out of a light-coloured car, running to the victim’s car and shooting him several times through the window, before running back to his car. However, homicide detectives have not alluded to this in their statement this morning.
