Surrey RCMP say a man has been shot and killed at a Surrey gas station on the 18600 block of Fraser Highway.

Officers taped off the area around a Mobil gas station late Saturday afternoon at the intersection of Fraser Highway and 188th Street.

A sheet was seen covering the passenger side of a black car parked at a gas pump.

RCMP say they responded to multiple 911 calls around 6 p.m. and found a man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. The victim was attended to by first responders but succumbed to his injuries.

The RCMP's serious crimes unit is on the scene and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has also been called in.

The gas station where the shooting took place is located in a busy shopping area. Police say while bystanders could have been hurt at the time, they don't believe there's any further risk to the public.

"It's still in its early stages, but at this point in our investigation we do believe this is a targeted incident," said Cpl. Elenore Sturko of the Surrey RCMP.

Multiple police vehicles and an ambulance were at the scene Saturday evening. Sturko says officers are still gathering evidence and witness statements.

She urged anyone with information that could be helpful to the investigation to reach out via IHIT's information line at 1-877-551-4448 or to contact Crime Stoppers.
