The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has identified the victim of a fatal Thursday shooting on the Sunshine Coast.

Investigators said 56-year-old Gregory Roy Sullivan of Sechelt was found with gunshot wounds outside a residence in the 8000 block of Birch Way in Halfmoon Bay around 3:40 a.m.

He succumbed to his injuries despite the efforts of first responders, IHIT said.
