A large area of the parking lot of the Scott Road Crossing shopping plaza parking lot near Scott Road and 80 Avenue was cordoned off with police tape.
A white SUV with bullet holes in it was found at the scene and what appeared to be a body under a tarp.

Surrey Police Service S/Sgt. Lindsay Houghton confirmed a man was shot while sitting in a vehicle in the parking lot around 5:25 p.m.
A witness told Global News that he was in the parking lot with his friend moments before the shooting happened and saw several men dressed in black who seemed “out of place.”
“One guy was over here, one guy was at the pizza place and one guy was on the corner over by the bush over there,” the witness told Global News.
He said there were three men and he and his friend heard many loud bangs.
Global News cameras also observed a torched car near Westview Park in Delta a short time afterward.
Police have yet to comment on any possible connection between the two incidents.
