SURREY – Homicide investigators in B.C. say a 25-year-old man was shot and killed on 148 Street in Surrey Tuesday night, and believe the targeted shooting was likely connected to the ongoing gang conflict in B.C.

According to a statement from B.C. RCMP spokesperson Staff Sgt. Kris Clark, Surrey Police Service (SPS) responded at about 6:55 p.m. Tuesday (Apr. 28) to shots fired into a vehicle in the 6800 block of 148 Street Surrey. When police arrived, they found an adult male suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite the best efforts of first responders, the man was pronounced deceased at the scene.

A second victim, an adult male, was also found at the scene and was transported to hospital with reportedly minor injuries.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has assumed conduct of the investigation.

IHIT is working closely with personnel from the BC RCMP Major Crime Unit, Surrey Police Service Major Crime Unit, Forensic Identification Services (FIS), and the BC Coroners Service to advance this investigation.

The victim was a 25-year-old resident of Surrey, but his name is not yet being released as family notifications are still ongoing.

While the investigation is in its infancy, investigators believe this was an isolated and targeted incident, with initial information suggesting that the shooting has ties to the BC gang conflict.

“Thanks to Surrey Police Service frontline officers for their quick actions in securing the scene and preserving vital evidence while also managing a large number of potential witnesses in the area,” says Staff Sergeant Kris Clark of the BC RCMP. “Extensive work is underway to interview those witnesses; however, anyone else who saw the shooting or knows the victims is asked to connect with investigators.”

IHIT is also seeking CCTV or dashcam video from April 28, 2026, between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. in and around 148 Street between 72 Avenue and 64 Avenue, as well as 96 Avenue between 123 Street and 125 Street, and nearby alleyways.
