It was initially believed the victim was stabbed, but police later confirmed he was shot. Homicide detectives are investigating.

Det. Sgt. Andy Singh said Naraine may have been dead for several hours before he was found by paramedics.
Police said they know there were other people in the car with Naraine before he died but Singh said they don’t know exactly how many people were there or why they didn’t take the victim to hospital after he was shot.
“Leaving somebody behind who could use medical aid and now is since deceased … I think it’s the collective responsibility for everyone in that vehicle to come forward (and) provide information,” Singh said.
Naraine was found in a 2018 Chevrolet Malibu. A similar vehicle is pictured below:
