File # 2024-634

IHIT has deployed to Surrey after an early morning shooting left one man deceased. Four suspects have been arrested. 

Background:

On June 7, 2024 at approximately 8:46 a.m., the Surrey RCMP received a call of a shooting in a the 900-block of 164 Street, Surrey, BC. Surrey RCMP front line officers attended and located a 29-year old man deceased. A short time later, police were advised of a vehicle fire in the 18500-block of McMillan Road, Surrey. As a result of the quick coordinated response of Surrey RCMP, Air 1 and the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team, four suspects were identified and taken into custody. 

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken conduct of the investigation and will be working closely in partnership with the Surrey RCMP and the BC Coroners Service. IHIT will be working with the Integrated Forensic Identification Service to determine if the burnt vehicle is associated to the homicide.

Initial evidence suggests this was a targeted shooting. Investigators have identified the victim, but are not releasing his name at this time, to allow for proper notification of the family.

IHIT is in the process of transitioning the investigation from the Surrey RCMP and are thankful for their excellent work, says Sergeant Timothy Pierotti of IHIT. We will continue to be in the area processing the scene and canvassing for witnesses.

IHIT is asking anyone with information who has yet to speak with police, or anyone who was driving in the 900-block of 164 Street between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. or in the 18500-block of McMillan Road between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. with dash-camera footage to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
