The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been called in after a homicide in Surrey’s Sullivan Station neighbourhood Saturday evening.
Surrey Police Service (SPS) officers were called to the area of 60th Avenue near 151st Street shortly after 6:30 p.m. after reports of shots fired.
“Upon arrival, members located a man apparently suffering from gunshot wounds,” SPS Sgt. Tige Pollock said.
“[BC Emergency Health Services] attended the scene; however, despite life-saving efforts, the man was subsequently pronounced deceased at the scene.”
IHIT will be working with the SPS to investigate.
We have reached out to police for more information, including whether this is believed to be related to extortion or gangs.
Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to call IHIT information 1-877-551-IHIT (4448).
