A homicide investigation is underway in Surrey after a man was fatally shot in broad daylight at a local business on Monday afternoon.
According to the Surrey Police Service (SPS), frontline officers responded to reports of a shooting at approximately 3:03 p.m. in the 13000 block of 76 Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered a man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds and immediately began providing medical assistance until paramedics from B.C. Emergency Health Services arrived.
Despite life-saving efforts, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have not yet released the identity of the deceased.
