Late-Night Incident Under Investigation
A man was fatally shot late Friday night in Surrey, B.C., prompting a major police response. The shooting occurred around 11:40 p.m. near the 10400 block of 152 Street, where officers arrived to find the victim with critical injuries. Despite emergency efforts, he died at the scene.
Details From Responding Officers
According to the Surrey Police Service (SPS), frontline officers were dispatched after multiple reports of gunfire in the busy Guildford area. Upon arrival, they secured the scene and called for additional support as evidence suggested a targeted attack rather than a random act.
Investigation Led by IHIT
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken control of the case, marking Surrey’s sixth homicide of the year. Investigators say early findings point to a targeted shooting, and the incident is not believed to be linked to extortion. However, the motive remains unclear as detectives continue to gather information.
Coordinated Police Effort
IHIT is now working alongside the Surrey Police Service and the RCMP’s Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit to conduct priority investigative tasks. Police say the investigation is in its early stages, and officers continue to canvass the neighbourhood for witnesses and surveillance footage.
Appeal for Public Assistance
Authorities are asking residents or businesses with security cameras in the area to review their footage from Friday night. Anyone with information or video evidence is urged to contact IHIT as investigators work to piece together the events leading up to the fatal shooting.
