Double-Shooting Near Surrey Elementary School: Victims Identied As Vikram Toor, Ashim Raza

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 29 Oct, 2016 02:38 PM
    Double-shooting near an elementary school has claimed one more life. Both men shot last night in Surrey have now died.
     
    The incident on Friday evening occurred at about 7:20 p.m. at 110th Avenue and 159th Street.
     
    The victims have been identified as 24-year-old Vikram Toor and 19-year-old Ashim Raza.
     
    “It is early in the investigation, but police are making every effort to establish the motive for the shooting. We ask that the public exercise vigilance, while we work to find justice for our victims and their families,” said Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Cpl. Meghan Foster in a release.
     
    “Obviously it’s concerning for the citizenry, and the neighbourhood, and the police that we have somebody out there so brazen to take somebody’s life,” said Insp. Keith Bramhill, a Regional Duty Officer with the Lower Mainland District RCMP.
     
     
    Photos from the scene in Surrey on social media show what appears to be a body covered by a yellow tarp falling out of a vehicle that had a window blown out.
     
    The RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the case, but has not yet released details about what happened or whether the shooting was gang-related.
     
    There have been 56 shootings in Surrey this year.
     
    Anyone with information is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-4448, or by email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or leave an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
