Homicide investigators are on scene in Surrey after two teenagers were shot and killed in an underground parking lot Sunday night in Newton.
Just after 10 p.m. Sunday (May 10), Surrey Police Service (SPS) officers responded to calls of a shooting in an underground parking lot in the 7000-block of 133B Street, where they found two teenage boys suffering from gunshot wounds.
Officers provided medical assistance until BC Emergency Health Services paramedics arrived, but despite life-saving efforts by police and paramedics, the teens were both pronounced dead at the scene, an SPS release said.
The victims, both residents of Surrey, were 18 and 16 years old, according to an Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) release. IHIT has since taken conduct the investigation.
Shortly after the deadly double shooting, a vehicle fire was reported in the area of 144 Street and 84 Avenue; investigators recovered a burned grey four-door sedan believed to be involved in the homicide and are actively working to identify the occupants who fled the scene, an IHIT release noted.
IHIT investigators are working with their families to understand the victims’ activities leading up to the shooting. While the motive is still under investigation, investigators believe this to be a targeted incident related to the BC gang conflict, IHIT said.
“This shooting has left two families grieving the loss of young lives taken far too soon,” said Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. “Extensive work is underway as investigators pursue all available leads to identify and hold those responsible accountable.”
The shooting deaths come on the heels of a shooting outside a gas station in the 7100-block of 152 Street in the early morning hours of May 10, which sent two men to hospital in critical condition with gunshot wounds.
On Monday, May 4, a man in his 30s was shot dead in broad daylight at his place of work in an office complex in Newton.
Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke said she’s “outraged” by the recent shootings in the city that have left three people dead and two others in critical condition.
“This violence is unacceptable and deeply troubling for the people who live and work here,” she said.
“Gang activity has posed a serious threat to public safety in our city and across the region for decades, and it continues to put lives at risk today.”
Locke said she’s written to Surrey Police Board chair Harley Chappell calling for an “immediate review” of the decision to redeploy members of the Surrey Police Service gang unit to staff District 4 (Cloverdale) in April.
“These officers play a critical role in combatting gangs, extortion, and targeted violence. The board should ensure that SPS has a clear plan to address gang activity in our city,” she said.
IHIT is seeking witnesses or anyone with dashcam video in either area, 7000-block of 133B Street, as well as 144 Street and 84 Avenue, between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., on Sunday (May 10).
Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
IHIT is slated to hold a media availability about the shooting deaths at 1:30 p.m. Monday (May 11).
This is a developing story. More to come.
