SURREY – Murder and mayhem is again on the rise in Surrey with daily gunfire and killings and this time it seems like the domestic criminals.

On Sunday, May 10 at approximately 10:02 p.m., Surrey Police Service (SPS) frontline officers responded to calls of a shooting in an underground parking lot in the 7000 block of 133B Street, Surrey. 

Upon arrival, SPS officers located two males suffering from gunshot wounds and provided medical assistance until BC Emergency Health Services arrived. Despite life-saving efforts by first responders, both victims were pronounced deceased on scene. 

Both victims were just teens 18 and 16. Both victims and the alleged killer have not been named.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has assumed conduct of the investigation which is in its early stages. IHIT is working in collaboration with SPS, the Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS), and the BC Coroners Service to advance the investigation.

Shortly after the shooting, a vehicle fire was reported in the area of 144 Street and 84 Avenue. Investigators recovered a burnt grey four-door sedan believed to be involved in the homicide and are actively working to identify the occupants who fled the scene.

The victims, both residents of Surrey, were 18 and 16 years old. IHIT investigators are working with their families to understand the victims’ activities leading up to the shooting. While the motive is still under investigation, investigators believe this to be a targeted incident related to the BC gang conflict.

“This shooting has left two families grieving the loss of young lives taken far too soon,” says Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. “Extensive work is underway as investigators pursue all available leads to identify and hold those responsible accountable.”

IHIT is seeking witnesses or anyone with dashcam video in either area, 7000 block of 133B Street, as well as 144 Street and 84 Avenue, between 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., on May 10.

Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
