SURREY — Homicide investigators are now looking into an incident that left one person dead Thursday night (Jun. 26).

At around 7:40 p.m., the Surrey Police Service (SPS) responded to calls of a shooting near the 10800 block of 129 Street. Frontline officers found one man suffering from life-threatening injuries, and despite life-saving measures, the man died at the scene.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has since been deployed.

“The investigation is in the early stages and IHIT is working in partnership with Surrey Police Service officers to complete priority tasks,” wrote Surrey Police.

“While the motive is still under investigation, the incident does not appear to be random in nature.”

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

This death now marks Surrey’s fourth homicide in 2025. The last incident identified Abbotsford resident Satwinder Sharma as the victim of a targeted homicide on Wednesday, June 11.
