Video shows moments leading up to brazen Surrey, B.C., shooting that killed one man, injured another

One man is dead and another sustained minor injuries after a shooting Tuesday evening in Surrey, B.C., that investigators believe could be gang-related.

The Surrey Police Service said officers responded just before 7 p.m. to reports of shots fired into a vehicle in the 6800 block of 148 Street in the city’s Newton area.

One man with gunshot wounds was declared dead at the scene while another man was taken to hospital with minor injuries, police said.

Authorities have since identified the deceased as a 25-year-old Surrey resident. Police have not released his name, as they were still working to notify his family as of Wednesday afternoon.

Video of the incident obtained by CTV News shows the victim’s vehicle starting to reverse out of the driveway of a home when a dark-coloured sedan drives up and blocks it from getting out.

Two shooters then jump of the car and run toward the victim’s car. The shooting itself is not captured, but the surviving victim can be seen crawling away from the scene moments later.

The B.C. RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the investigation into the slaying. In a news release, the RCMP said the shooting appears “isolated and targeted,” with early indications “suggesting” ties to the province’s deadly gang conflict.

A spokesperson for B.C. Emergency Health Services said four ambulances were dispatched to the scene, including one with advanced care paramedics.

“Paramedics provided emergency medical treatment to one patient who was transported to hospital in stable condition,” the agency said in an emailed statement.

Investigators said no arrests have been made and there is no information on possible suspects.

In a statement, RCMP spokesperson Staff Sgt. Kris Clark said investigators are interviewing a “large number of potential witnesses,” and asked anyone with information on the shooting or victims to come forward.

Investigators are also looking for CCTV or dash-cam video taken between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday in the area of 148 Street between 72 and 64 avenues, or 96 Avenue between 123 and 125 streets—including alleyways.

A burned vehicle was discovered roughly 45 minutes after the shooting in an alleyway several blocks from the scene of the gunfire.

Police have not confirmed whether the vehicle fire is connected to the deadly shooting.
