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.
