Initial evidence suggests this was a targeted shooting, according to IHIT. Investigators have identified the victim, but are not releasing his name at this time, to allow for proper notification of the family.
“IHIT is in the process of transitioning the investigation from the Surrey RCMP and are thankful for their excellent work,” Sgt. Timothy Pierotti of IHIT said in a release. “We will continue to be in the area processing the scene and canvassing for witnesses.”
