A Calgary man was shot to death in the doorway of his home, police confirmed Wednesday.

An autopsy revealed that 41-year-old Heng Donny Zu Zhi, who also went by the name of Donny Tu,diedat about 1:20 a.m. from a gunshot wound at his homeon Edgeridge Green N.W., said police.

Officersdiscovered the bodywhile respondingto a 911 hangup call. A neighbour saidshe heard gunfire, the squeal of tires and a car speeding away.

Police called thehomicide targeted, because it appears someone walked up to the front door of the home and shot the person who answered.

The victim'sbrother, Phillip Tu, is currently serving time for drug offences, but police are keeping an open mind about the motive behind the shooting.

"We're not narrowing our investigative focus to the act that the obvious connection could be to his brother," said Calgary police spokesman Kevin Brookwell. "We have to remain very open-minded that this could be just about anything that caused that."

Tu's deathisCalgary's seventh homicide of 2010.
