The RCMP says four suspects have been arrested after a shooting in south Surrey killed one person Friday morning.
Mounties were called to the area of 164 Street and 10 Avenue just after 8:45 a.m. for reports that shots had rung out.
When officers arrived, they found a 29-year-old man who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The RCMP says a vehicle fire on McMillan Road near 185 Street was reported a short time later, and police are investigating whether the two incidents are linked.
Police say the shooting appears to have been targeted. The victim has been identified but his name is not being released until family is notified.
“IHIT is in the process of transitioning the investigation from the Surrey RCMP and are thankful for their excellent work,” says IHIT’s Sgt. Timothy Pierotti.
“We will continue to be in the area processing the scene and canvassing for witnesses.”
No further information about the suspects has been released.
Anyone with information about the shooting or 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 is asked to call IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
