Man dead in ‘targeted’ daylight shooting at Surrey, B.C., business

May 5, 2026 | 8:58 AM

SURREY — Homicide investigators say a deadly daylight shooting at a business in Surrey, B.C., on Monday afternoon is believed to have been a “targeted incident.”

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says a man in his 30s is dead after being shot at his place of work on the second floor of a business complex near 130th Street and 76 Ave.

Police say the investigation is in its “infancy” as they try and figure out a motive for the shooting, which claimed the life of a man with no criminal record and no indication he was the target of extortion threats.

They say in a statement that homicide police are working with the victim’s family on a timeline that led up to the fatal encounter.

The homicide team say it’s now looking for dash camera footage from anyone in the area between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Monday.

“This was a brazen shooting that showed a complete disregard for public safety, and it is fortunate that no one else was injured,” spokeswoman Sgt. Freda Fong said.

Surrey police said Monday that officers were called to the business in the 13000 block of 76 Avenue at about 3 p.m. Monday and found a man who had been shot.

Officers and paramedics attempted life-saving measures, but the man was declared dead at the scene, and homicide investigators took over the case.

Police said no arrests have been made in the case and there is no information to share about a suspect.
