At approximately 10am on Saturday, May 21, 2022, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a shot fired in the 13700 block of Grosvenor road.
A male suffering from serious injuries was located and transported to a local area hospital.
Officers were on scene conducting neighborhood canvassing and spoke with witnesses to obtain further information.
The investigation is still in its early stages, but initial indications are that his is an isolated incident.

At this time it is believed this was an unprovoked attack and the victim and suspect are not known to each other. The charges of one count of Aggravated Assault and one count of robbery against 30 year old Abdulkadir Hassan of Burnaby have been approved by Crown Counsel.
Also, 93.8% (4,058,015) of all eligible adults in B.C. have received their first dose, 91.5% (3,957,889) received their second dose and 59.5% (2,573,327) have received a third dose.
In the first three days of April, the police watchdog says it responded to six incidents, including two officer shootings, which highlights the significant staffing challenges.
A statement from Nanaimo RCMP says an on-duty officer witnessed the collision around 9:30 p.m. Monday and administered first aid until Emergency Health Services personnel arrived to take the pedestrian to hospital, where he later died.
Prof. Carolyn Whitzman, a University of Ottawa housing and social policy expert, says policy changes ranging from requiring municipal governments to approve more multi-housing developments to introducing provincial policies that make more government land available for housing could help the problem.
Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Tuesday that people over age 70 in the community, Indigenous people 55 and up and those who are clinically extremely vulnerable will also be included in a vaccination campaign that will ramp up through the spring.
