The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is asking for the public’s assistance with identifying and locating a suspect in relation to the homicide of 29 year old Birinderjeet Justin BHANGU.

 

Mr. Bhangu was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Comfort Inn Hotel while seated in his vehicle.

 

Surrey RCMP and the Surrey Fire Department attended and made all efforts to save Mr. Bhangu, however, he was transported to hospital and pronounced deceased shortly after.

 

 

Mr. Bhangu is known to police and, while a motive hasn’t been confirmed, it is believed that this shooting was as a result of his criminal lifestyle.

Members of the community, the general public and even those entrenched in this lifestyle themselves should be outraged by the arrogance and inhumanity that was exhibited on this day.
