One man is dead and another sustained minor injuries after a shooting Tuesday evening in Surrey, B.C.
The Surrey Police Service says officers responded just before 7 p.m. to reports of shots fired into a vehicle in the 6800 block of 148 Street in the city’s Newton area. One man with gunshot wounds was declared dead at the scene while another man was taken to hospital with minor injuries, police said. A spokesperson for B.C. Emergency Health Services says four ambulances were dispatched to the scene, including one with advanced care paramedics.
“Paramedics provided emergency medical treatment to one patient who was transported to hospital in stable condition,” the agency said in an emailed statement.
Investigators say no arrests have been made and there is no information on possible suspects. A burned vehicle was discovered roughly 45 minutes after the shooting in an alleyway several blocks from the scene of the gunfire.
Police have not confirmed whether the vehicle fire is connected to the deadly shooting. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the investigation into the slaying. Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. Reported By Todd Coyne
