Broad-Daylight Shooting Leaves One Dead in Surrey
A man was fatally shot Wednesday afternoon near the Fleetwood Community Centre, shocking residents in a usually quiet part of Surrey. The deadly incident, which unfolded around 3:45 p.m. on 84 Avenue and 160 Street, marks the third homicide of 2025 in the city.
Witnesses reported a heavy police presence moments after the gunfire. When officers arrived, they found the man critically injured. Despite immediate medical attention, he died at the scene.
Police Respond Quickly, Scene Turns Chaotic
Officers from the RCMP’s Provincial Operations Support Unit were the first to respond. They were soon joined by heavily armed members of the Lower Mainland’s Integrated Emergency Response Team.
The shooting happened in broad daylight, right across from the busy Fleetwood Community Centre. Photos captured from the area show emergency crews and police vehicles surrounding a commercial plaza nearby. The visible tension left many locals feeling alarmed.
IHIT Leads Investigation, Motive Still Unknown
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken charge of the investigation. While the motive remains unclear, police say there is no connection yet to other recent cases.
Authorities are urging anyone with tips to call 1-877-551-4448 or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
Community Rattled After Third Homicide in 2025
This incident has left residents deeply unsettled. The Fleetwood area, known for its schools, parks, and family events, is not typically associated with violent crime. With three homicides reported already in 2025, residents are beginning to question the city’s safety.
Surrey Police have promised increased patrols and community outreach efforts in response to public concern. The investigation remains active.
