SURREY – With the weather heating up, there has been an uptick in gangland style shootings and killings with the latest on Saturday afternoon in South Surrey that left one man dead and two sent to hospital with serious injuries.

Sources tell DESIBUZZCanada that it’s most likely related to the recent killing of Meninder Dhaliwal and his friend Sat Gill in Whistler last weekend and the targeted individuals could be the rival gang that took out hits on Dhaliwal and Gill. However, police have not yet identified the victims.

Police arrested two Indo-Canadian men for the Whistler murders. Gursimran Sahota, 24, from Surrey and 20-year-old Tanvir Khakh, also from Surrey, are charged with first degree murder. Police arrested three other individuals along with Khakh and Sahota but the extent of their involvement is still being determined as the investigation is still ongoing.

Surrey RCMP was on scene following the shooting in the 14600 block of 20th Avenue in Surrey.

On July 30, at approximately 2:45 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a report of shooting in the 14600-block of 20th Avenue. Police attended and located three male victims in medical distress suffering from gunshot wounds. Attending officers provided life saving measures until Emergency Health Services arrived. Despite life saving measures, one of the injured men succumbed to his injuries on scene. The remaining two victims were transported to local hospital with life threatening injuries.

Police are looking for any witnesses or those with dash cam footage from the area to contact police.

The area surrounding the scene will be cordoned off for a significant amount of time. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been called and will be working in partnership with Surrey RCMP. 

Initial investigations are that this was a targeted incident. The investigation is in the early stages and police are currently in the evidence gathering phase. At this point in time, there is no concern for public safety.

Police said any further information will be provided by Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
