According to VPD, officers responded to the area of Grove Street and Hayes Street in reference to a shooting at approximately 1:50 a.m. and found 34-year-old Hakeem Samall Burnett on the ground suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the body.

VPD said Burnett was rushed to Merit Health River Region, where he succumbed to his injuries.
