This is what the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says. The brazen shooting on Monday afternoon appears to be targeted and associated with a business on the second floor of the office building.
The shooting happened at 3:03 p.m. at a business near 130 Street and 76 Avenue in Surrey.
IHIT said the victim was a man in his 30s who was at his workplace at the time of the shooting.
Investigators said the victim had no criminal history and was not previously the target of any reported threats or extortion.
“We can confirm that she is targeted,” Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT said.

“The victim was at his workplace at the time. And then the other piece of information that’s important to know is that he’s isolated in a business on the second floor of this complex.”
Global News spoke to a man who knew the victim.
“Very nice guy, very humble and doesn’t talk much – very composed guy, very respected,” Muhammad Dafzalmalik said.
The location was too where Swift Radio was filmed last September.
“I see bullet marks all over the place and it’s a terrible thing in itself, but to hear that someone was killed near your office, I think it’s the most shocking thing that has ever happened to me,” said Manimugdha Sharma, a host of Radio Swift.
At the moment, the identity of the victim is not known.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation is urged to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
