  • IHIT investigating homicide in Surrey

On Wednesday night  at 11:15 p.m., the Surrey police responded to a report of a man in medical distress inside his residence in the 18800-block of 76 Avenue, Surrey.  

The police found the 47-year-old man having sustained life-threatening injuries. First responders performed emergency first aid, but the victim did not survive.
