The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has identified the victim in a “targeted” shooting in Surrey.
Mohamed Abdulrahman Mohamed, 28, has been named as the victim in a shooting in the parking lot of the Days Inn Hotel in Surrey.
The shooting took place on July 4 around 5 p.m.
“While still early in the investigation, homicide investigators are able to confirm that this shooting was targeted, but not connected to any other recent shootings,” Sgt. David Lee said.
“IHIT investigators are able to confirm that Mohamed was involved in drug trafficking but unable to confirm any gang-nexus at this time.”
Shortly after the shooting, police said officers found a vehicle on fire in an alleyway in the 12400 block of 96 Avenue in Surrey.
Officials said the burning car has been linked to the shooting.
“Regardless of Mohamed’s alleged activities or associations, his life was taken from him,” Lee said.
“Our investigators are committed to resolving this homicide and are seeking public assistance.”
Anyone with possible information regarding the shooting, the victim or the burned vehicle is being asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-4448.
