IHIT is investigating the homicide of a 19 year old man who died of a gunshot wound in Surrey.

On Friday afternoon, the man arrived at a Surrey hospital with a gunshot wound around 1:30pm and later died as a result of succumbing to his injuries.

Police think this is an isolated incident and no one else is at risk, but it also does not appear to be related to a recent spate gang-violence shootings in the Lower Mainland.
