Police also confirmed that a vehicle involved in the incident was discovered burned in Burnaby on Saturday evening.
Leeson said that “based on the behaviour” of the suspects, investigators believe the shooting was targeted, although no motive has yet been determined.
“Delta Police have been in communication with BC Corrections and other law enforcement partners about possible links to other incidents in Metro Vancouver,” police said.
“At this point, police are not able to determine whether this shooting can be linked to the gang conflict.”
Officers were called to the Scottsdale Centre just before 5 pm on Saturday. They discovered Randhawa suffering from gunshot wounds in the mall’s parking lot.

DELTA (NEWS 1130) One man was shot near a busy Delta shopping mall Saturday afternoon in what police say is believed to be a “targeted” attack.
Police were called 72nd Ave and 120th Street around 5 p.m. for reports of shots fired “near a gas station at 72nd Ave and 120th Street.” That intersection is where Scottsdale Centre is. Police tape went up around the parking lot and shoppers were told not to leave the Walmart.
“It’ll be at least be a few hours.”

B.C. police departments are still waiting for direction from the province on how they’ll enforce the province’s new travel restrictions, which lawyers warn could be legally dubious.
A public health order which came into effect Friday means that British Columbians who travel between health authorities for non-essential reasons could face a $575 fine. The order, in effect until May 25, divides the province into three regional zones, a combined zone for Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Valley, another one for the Northern/Interior regions and a third for Vancouver Island.
