SURREY – April came to an end of more violence in Surrey with two separate targeted incidents that sent two men to the hospital.

Surrey RCMP said two separate investigations in the Surrey-Whalley area on Sunday evening left two victims with injuries. Police are requesting anyone with information on either incident to contact police. At this stage in both investigations, the two incidents do not appear related to each other beyond close timing and proximity.

On April 30, just before 6:00 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to the report of a stabbing near King George Boulevard and Bentley Road.  The 24-year-old victim was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries and has since been stabilized. 

Based on initial information it appears that multiple male suspects arrived in a taxi and confronted the victim who was subsequently stabbed. Although the motive of this incident is unknown, the victim appears to have been targeted and was previously stabbed two weeks ago (April 15) in an incident onboard a Skytrain travelling through Surrey. 

At approximately 8:00 p.m., a shooting in a residential driveway located in the 10700-block of City Parkway was reported.  Police attended and located a 36-year-old male victim suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.

Three male suspects were seen fleeing the area on foot, but despite police efforts, were not located. The motive for the shooting has yet to be determined, however the victim is known to police.

Surrey RCMP General Investigation Unit has conduct of both investigations and are actively speaking with witnesses and canvasing for video surveillance.  There are no indications that either incident has links to the BC Gang Conflict.

Anyone with information about either incident is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 605-599-0502.
