A man is behind bars after allegedly shooting and killing a UPS driver while he was on break eating inside his truck in Irvine, California.
Police have taken a suspect into custody after a UPS driver was shot and killed inside his truck in Irvine, California, on Thursday afternoon. The shooting took place at around 3 p.m. near Chrysler and Bendix in the city, according to Irvine police on Facebook. Sgt. Karie Davies told FOX 11 LA the UPS driver was on break and eating inside his truck when the suspect, who has not been identified, pulled up in a pickup truck and started shooting. Police believe the shooter was wearing a face mask.
Officers are working to determine if the driver and the suspect knew each other and if there was a potential motive behind the shooting, Davies said. 'We don't know exactly what the relationship is between these two gentlemen, if any,' Davies said. 'This definitely seemed targeted, meaning it wasn't a robbery, didn't appear to be a robbery.' A few hours later, at around 6 p.m.
Irvine police said the deadly shooting remains under investigation and urged anyone with information to call 949-724-7200. 'Thank you to the community for your concern as we investigated the tragic homicide that occurred today. Our hearts are with the victim and his loved ones,' the department wrote on Facebook.
