Overview
- Two males, 16 and 18, were found shot in an underground lot in Surrey’s Newton neighbourhood and died at the scene after Sunday night’s attack.
- IHIT took charge of what it calls a targeted case tied to the B.C. gang conflict, and investigators say the probe is in its early stages with no arrests or suspect details.
- Police recovered a grey four-door sedan burned near 144 Street and 84 Avenue shortly after the gunfire, and they are working to identify the people who fled that car.
- Investigators asked for dashcam footage from 9 to 11 p.m. from the 7000 block of 133B Street and the 144 Street and 84 Avenue area, and they urged anyone with tips to contact IHIT.
- Mayor Brenda Locke pressed for stronger anti-gang action as Chief Norm Lipinski said the SPS Gang Crime Unit was temporarily reassigned to tackle an extortion surge and is set to return to regular duties by mid-June with support from provincial partners.
