The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is investigating a fatal shooting at a Surrey hotel Monday (July 4).
Police were called to a parking lot at the Days Inn Hotel, located at 13373 King George Blvd. in the Whalley neighbourhood, at 4:57 p.m. after a report of shots fired, according to a release from Surrey RCMP. Police add the shooting appears to be targeted.
Police say that when officers arrived they found a man in “medical distress suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.”
“Despite all attempts to revive the individual they succumbed to their injuries,” notes the release.
Surrey RCMP say a suspect vehicle, described as an “older model silver four-door Infiniti sedan was seen fleeing from the area.” Now, police are investigating whether a burnt-out vehicle, found in the area of 96 Avenue and 124 Street a short time later, is connected to the homicide.
Police add that no suspect description is currently available and police are looking for any witnesses or those with dash-cam footage from the area to contact police.
Anyone with further information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
