While the investigation is in its infancy and the motive is still under investigation, investigators believe this was a targeted incident limited to a business on the second floor of the complex.

The victim was a man in his 30’s who was at his place of work at the time of the shooting. IHIT is working closely with the victim’s family to establish background information and a timeline leading up to the shooting. 

The victim had no criminal history and was not previously the target of any reported threats or extortion.

IHIT is seeking dashcam footage from anyone who was in the area of 130th Street and 76 Avenue on May 4  between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

"This was a brazen shooting that showed a complete disregard for public safety, and it is fortunate that no one else was injured,” says Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. “Investigators are actively pursuing a number of priority tasks to identify those involved.”

Meanwhile, the police did not release the name of the victim yet. 

On May 4, at approximately 3:03 p.m., Surrey Police Service (SPS) frontline officers responded to calls of a shooting at a business near 130th Street and 76 Avenue, Surrey.

Upon arrival, SPS officers located a man suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite life-saving efforts, the man died at the scene.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) assumed conduct of the investigation and continues to work in partnership with SPS.
