Surrey, BC – Police have identified the victim of a fatal shooting in Surrey as 21-year-old Bilal Hameed, a local resident who died at the scene after being shot near the 10800 block of 129 Street on the evening of June 26.

At approximately 7:40 p.m. Thursday, frontline officers from the Surrey Police Service (SPS) responded to reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, officers found a male victim—later confirmed as Hameed—suffering from life-threatening injuries. Despite efforts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has since taken over the investigation and is working closely with SPS, the Integrated Forensic Identification Service (IFIS), and the BC Coroners Service.

According to IHIT, Hameed was the driver of a vehicle at the time of the shooting. He was known to police from previous interactions, though further details were not disclosed. Investigators believe the incident was targeted and stress that there is no continued risk to the public.

Shortly after the shooting, a black Dodge pickup truck believed to be connected to the incident was found burned in the 9400 block of 184 Street in Surrey.

“Police are working diligently to identify all parties involved in this shooting,” said Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. “Investigators are expected to be in the area interviewing witnesses, collecting evidence, and canvassing for video.”

Authorities are appealing to the public for assistance. Anyone with dashcam footage from the area of 10800 block of 129 Street between 5:30 and 8:00 p.m., or from the 9400 block of 184 Street between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. on June 26, is urged to contact IHIT immediately.
