Homicide team deployed to Surrey, B.C., after men found with gunshot wounds

SURREY — Homicide investigators have been deployed to Surrey, B.C., after it says two men were shot.

The Surrey Police Service says in a news release it responded early Saturday to a home in the city, where police found two men suffering from gunshot wounds.

The release says one man was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene, while the second was transported to a hospital.

Surrey Police say officers, paramedics and firefighters all responded to the scene and rendered aid to the men.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the case.

IHIT says in a statement that while the investigation is still in its early stages, they believe it’s a targeted homicide as the investigators have confirmed that the men and suspect were known to each other.

Surrey has been facing a growing threat of extortion-linked shootings and threats targeting the South Asian community.

IHIT says investigators don’t believe this shooting is extortion-related or connected to the BC gang conflict.

Investigators are appealing for people with information and dashcam footage to contact them.
