Police have identified the body found slumped over the wheel of this vehicle on the East 65th Avenue near Fraser Street as Hung Van Bui, 27.

The man found dead behind the wheel of his car in East Vancouver Monday night survived a restaurant shooting last August that left two dead and six wounded, police say.
Vancouver police identified Monday's shooting victim as Hung Van Bui, 27, whose body was slumped inside his car on the sidewalk of the 600 block of East 65th Avenue.
"Mr. Bui, who last year was a survivor of the Fortune Happiness Restaurant shooting, was known to police and believed to be involved in the drug trade," police spokesman Const. Tim Fanning said Tuesday night.
Two masked men walked into the Fortune Happiness Restaurant at 654 East Broadway and opened fire at about 4:30 a.m. PT on Aug. 9 of last year.

Two men died and six people were wounded in an early morning shooting at an East Vancouver restaurant in August 2007.
No arrests in restaurant shooting

Fanning would not disclose further details Thursday about the possibility of a connection between the Fortune Happiness restaurant shootings and Bui's death. There have been no arrests in the restaurant shootings.
At 10:20 p.m. PT on Monday, East 65th Avenue residents reported they had heard shots, Fanning said.
"Paramedics were on the scene shortly after police were. They could see nothing could be done, that the man had died as a result of what appeared to be gunshot wounds," Fanning said before police identified Bui as the shooting victim.
One witness said he saw two men jump out of a vehicle and shoot the driver of the car as he was parking on the street, but police did not confirm that account.
Police said Tuesday morning that they have no descriptions of suspects and have not recovered any weapons.
