Vancouver police investigate DTES shooting death

Man in his late 50s dies at Savoy Hotel

Vancouver police are investigating the shooting death of a man at a Downtown Eastside hotel.

Just before 10:30 on Friday night, police received a 911 call to the Savoy Hotel at 258 East Hastings Street. They found a man in his late 50s suffering from gunshot wounds.

The man was rushed to the hospital but died a short time later.

By Sunday afternoon, police had still not revealed the man's name, awaiting notification of next-of-kin.

The VPD says it is too early in the investigation to provide more details.
