Man in his 30s was shot dead while at work in Surrey, investigators say

A man died from his injuries after a daylight shooting at a business Monday, according to authorities. No arrests have been made.

Homicide investigators say they are still trying to parse the motive for a shooting in broad daylight Monday that left a man dead at a Surrey business complex.

Police were first called to the area of 130^th Street and 76^th Avenue just after 3 p.m., where they found a victim suffering from gunshot wounds. The man died on the scene despite the efforts of first responders.

In an update Tuesday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team identified the victim only as a man in his 30s.

The victim was at work on the second floor of the complex at the time of the shooting, IHIT said.

Police said while the investigation is “in its infancy” they believe the shooting was targeted and are working with the victim’s family to establish a timeline leading up to the fatal event.

IHIT added the victim had no criminal history and was not—at least reportedly—a previous target of threats of extortion.

“This was a brazen shooting that showed a complete disregard for public safety, and it is fortunate that no one else was injured,” IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Freda Fong said, in a statement. “Investigators are actively pursuing a number of priority tasks to identify those involved.”

IHIT continues to ask anyone with information or video from the area to call 1-877-551-4448 or email [e-mail].
