A 20-year-old Surrey resident is dead following a brazen shooting outside the Sandman Hotel in Langley on Saturday afternoon.
Langley RCMP were called to a shooting in the Sandman Hotel parking lot in the 8800-block of 201 Street just before 2 p.m. and when officers arrived they found a man getting treated for gunshot wounds. The victim ended up dying of his injuries at the scene.
The victim has been identified as Tyrell Michael Sinnott, who according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), had a criminal record and was involved in the drug trade.
