Teenager ID\u2019d as victim in suspected Surrey gang-related shooting<\/p>\n
Published 10:49 am Tuesday, June 2, 2026<\/p>\n
Homicide investigators have identified 18-year-old Gaurav Deol as the victim of the suspected gang-related fatal shooting in Surrey on Sunday (May 31).<\/p>\n
Surrey Police responded to reports of a shooting around 12:22 a.m. in the 13800-block of 62 Avenue. Officers found the victim \u201csuffering from gunshot wounds\u201d inside a car that had hit a power pole.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite life-saving efforts by first responders, the man died at the scene,\u201d the Integrated Homicide Unit (IHIT) said in a news release Tuesday (June 2).<\/p>\n
A short time later, a car fire was reported in the 10600-block of Salisbury Drive. \u201cA burnt white Toyota SUV was recovered and is believed to have been used in the shooting,\u201d IHIT said.<\/p>\n
While it is early in the investigation, police believe the shooting was targeted and gang-related. IHIT is working closely with SPS, RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit (SPOSU), the Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS) and the BC Coroners Service.<\/p>\n
Police do not always release the name of a homicide victim, but in this instance did so to \u201cadvance the investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a tremendously difficult time for the victim\u2019s family, and IHIT investigators are working with them to understand his lifestyle and activities leading up to the shooting,\u201d says Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. \u201cA lot of work is underway as we continue an extended canvass for witnesses and video at both the shooting and arson scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n
IHIT is looking for witnesses and dashcam video from anyone who was in the area of either scene, between 10:00 p.m. on May 30, 2026, and 1:00 a.m. on May 31, 2026. Anyone with information is urged to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.<\/p>\n
This marks Surrey\u2019s 13th homicide of 2026, and the third teenager to be killed in May, in what police suspect were gang-related shootings.<\/p>\n
Police responded to calls of a shooting in an underground parking lot in Surrey\u2019s Newton neighbourhood around 10 p.m. on May 10. Police found two young males, 16 and 18 years old, suffering from gunshot wounds.
