A man who was shot while sitting in a car in Glasgow has died in hospital. Police say the incident, which took place on Monday night near Maryhill Road, is being treated as a murder investigation.
The victim was a passenger in a silver BMW which stopped at traffic lights on Bilsland Drive when the attack happened at 10.30pm.
A black car pulled up before the attacker - who was wearing a black balaclava - got out and shot the victim. The attacker then jumped back into the car which sped off in the direction of Maryhill Road.
A burnt-out black people carrier was later found at Craigieburn Gardens, Maryhill.
Police believe it was a "targeted attack".
The victim was rushed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he died two days later.
Police say extensive forensic examinations are continuing at Craigieburn Gardens and in Bilsland Drive.
Detective Superintendent Kenny Graham, of Greater Glasgow division, said on Tuesday: "Whoever is responsible for this shooting clearly has no regard for the safety of those living in this busy residential area and they must be caught.
"We are continuing our inquiries to establish a motive for this crime and although we believe that this was a targeted attack and that the 29-year-old man was the intended victim, we are pursuing all lines of enquiry.
"Extensive forensic examinations are ongoing in both Bilsland Drive and Craigieburn Gardens where the burnt-out vehicle was found.
