The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is releasing the names of the victims in last weekend’s shooting at South Surrey Athletic Park.
IHIT is releasing the names in hopes to “advance” the investigation, the team says.
In a release, IHIT says the victims are 26-year-old Harbir Khosa, 20-year-old Robeen Soreni, and 19-year-old Jordan Krishna, however “due to safety reasons,” Sgt. David Lee says IHIT is not confirming who has passed away.
On July 30, Surrey RCMP responded to a shooting in the parking lot of the athletic field on 20 Avenue. Two of the victims died, while one is still in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

According to IHIT, all three are from Surrey, with Khosa and Krishna “known to police.”
“Homicide investigators confirm that this shooting was a single, targeted incident confined to the parking lot and around a 2010 black BMW X5. The black BMW X5 was associated to all three victims. … The investigation is still in its early stages, but indications are that this shooting has a nexus to gang and drug activity,” IHIT says in the statement.
Investigators have since determined that there was a single suspect shooter who fled on foot away from the black BMW X5.
According to the homicide team, the suspect is described as a man wearing a dark hooded sweater, beige pants, and dark coloured baseball hat.
“We’ve established a timeline with the black BMW X5 arriving in the park around 2:27 p.m. and the shooting taking place right after,” Lee said.
“The shooter then fled on foot in a western direction out of the park.”
IHIT is asking that anyone who was at the South Surrey Athletic Park around 2:30 p.m. and may have seen the 2010 black BMW X5 or someone running from the parking lot, to come forward and call the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email IHIT at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca
