Charges have been approved in connection with a fatal daylight shooting in Surrey two months ago.
Twenty-nine-year-old Birinderjeet Bhangu was gunned down in broad daylight on March 13 outside a hotel in the 8200-block of 166 Street. At the time, police said a dark-coloured Nissan Pathfinder fled the scene following the shooting.
Shortly after Bhangu’s death, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) released a video of the suspect.
