“While still early in the investigation, this shooting is believed to be linked to the drug trade and the Lower Mainland gang conflict.”
Police are still searching for the suspect, believed to have fled in a vehicle, but did not provide a description.
RCMP confirmed Saturday that a torched vehicle found in Delta Friday night was believed to be linked to the shooting.
A police presence is expected in the area for some time as officers gather evidence.
Anyone with information or dashcam footage is asked to contact Surrey RCMP.
