This concludes our live page coverage of the double homicide of two teenagers in Surrey Sunday night. CBC News will continue to follow this story as it evolves.<\/p>\n
To recap: Two male teenagers, aged 16 and 18, were shot and killed in an underground parking garage in the Newton neighbourhood of Surrey just after 10 p.m. PT Sunday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
IHIT said on Monday that the pair, despite their young ages, had previous contact with police due to their connections to organized crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A burnt-out vehicle that is believed to be connected to the shooting has been recovered, and police say the homicides are believed to be part of B.C.\u2019s ongoing gang war.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No suspects have been arrested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The killings, combined with the non-fatal shootings of two men outside a gas station early Sunday morning, were described as \u201cdeeply troubling\u201d by Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke.<\/p>\n
Locke has called for an immediate review of a decision last month to redeploy members of the SPS gang unit to staff Surrey\u2019s Cloverdale district.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CBC News has reached out to the Surrey Police Board, which oversees the SPS, for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This concludes our live page coverage of the double homicide of two teenagers in Surrey Sunday night.
