This was one of three shootings in Surrey in recent days.
Just two hours before this fatal shooting, a 26-year-old man was hurt near 106 Avenue and King George Boulevard. His injuries were minor and police are looking into whether that incident was linked to gangs or drugs.
On Saturday, a woman was shot near 95A Avenue and 133 Street. She is expected to survive. Police believe that shooting was targeted, but the victim was not the intended target.
