What we do know from what we heard from a witness that Newswatch spoke to they say the man was about to leave the parking spot just outside a flat when another car came by and opened fire.
The driver's side of the car has been completely sprayed with bullets.
Carriages of the bullets were also found on the scene, which police have already taken for evidence.
Police have collected what appears to be the personal possessions of the man inside the car.
