A man is dead, and the homicide team is in charge
A man was found shot inside a Surrey home on Thursday morning and could not be saved. Surrey Police Service officers and BC Emergency Health Services staff were called to a residence in the 10600 block of 132 Street, in central Surrey, at about 7:16 a.m. for a report of a man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. First responders attempted to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken over conduct of the investigation, and IHIT and Surrey investigators are working through the priority tasks in the case. All media inquiries are now directed to IHIT.
That is nearly everything police have said. The release does not give the man's name or age, does not describe any suspect, and does not say whether anyone is being sought. No charges are mentioned.
The appeal for video
Investigators are asking anyone with information, CCTV footage or dash-camera footage to call the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-4448 (IHIT) or email [email protected].
In a case that begins with a body inside a home and no suspect description, neighbourhood video from Thursday morning — who arrived, who left, and when — is typically the first thread investigators pull.
The Twikup Take
A short release is itself information: police have confirmed a homicide in a residential neighbourhood and nothing else — no victim, no suspect, no motive. Until IHIT says more, the useful public act is the one in the appeal: check your cameras if you live anywhere near 132 Street.
