Victims of fatal double shooting in Surrey, B.C., were 16 and 18 years old: police

SURREY — Police say two teenagers from Surrey, B.C., are dead in an apparent targeted shooting related to an ongoing gang conflict.

A statement from Sgt. Freda Fong with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says those killed on Sunday were 16 and 18 years old, both male, and “the shooting has left two families grieving the loss of young lives taken far too soon.”

The double shooting is part of a spate of violence that Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke called “unacceptable and deeply troubling” for local residents.

She issued a statement saying recent shootings have left three people dead, with two others in critical condition in the Metro Vancouver city.

Locke says she has written to the Surrey Police Board calling for a review of a decision to redeploy members of the force’s gang unit elsewhere last month.

The homicide investigation team is meanwhile searching for the occupants of a grey four-door sedan found burned shortly after the double shooting Sunday night, saying they believe the vehicle was involved in the killings.

Officers with the Surrey Police Service had responded to calls of the shooting in an underground parking lot in the 7000 block of 133B Street at about 10 p.m.

Police say they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds, and both were pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of first responders.

The vehicle fire was reported in the area of 144 Street and 84 Avenue, and police are asking anyone with dash-camera footage from both locations to contact them.

The homicide investigation team is working with the families of the young victims to understand their activities leading up to the shooting, the statement adds.
