UPDATE: , Aug. 10, 2022

A young man was killed and a cabbie was seriously injured in a shooting in Guildford on Tuesday afternoon, near 108 Avenue and 148 Street.

鈥淲e have confirmed that one person is deceased and a second person has been transported to hospital,鈥� Surrey RCMP Cpl. Vanessa Munn said.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is 鈥渨orking with Surrey to gather information,鈥� IHIT Sgt. Tim Pierotti said.

Munn said police received reports of shots fired at a taxi cab in a parking lot in the 14800-block of 108 Avenue.

鈥淯pon arrival, it was determined that both occupants of the vehicle had been shot. The passenger, a 30-year-old male is deceased and the driver of the taxi was transported to hospital with serious injuries,鈥� Munn said.

鈥淚nitial indications are that this was a targeted incident with the 30-year-old deceased man being known to police,鈥� Munn said. 鈥淭his daytime shooting in a strip mall parking lot demonstrated a complete disregard for the safety of others and resulted in serious injuries to a taxi driver.鈥�

Police ask anyone with information who has not already spoken to investigators to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Another shooting in Surrey near 148 street and 108 ave. This time a taxi involved in it. Police investigating on the scene.
