THE Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has released a sketch of the suspect in the fatal Guildford shooting on August 9.

Surrey RCMP received multiple reports of a shooting in the 14800-block of 108 Avenue on August 9 at 2:18 p.m.

Officers located two men associated to a taxi suffering from gunshot wounds. The passenger, identified as David Chavez-Jara, died on scene from injuries, while the taxi driver was transported to hospital with serious injuries.

IHIT took conduct of the investigation and continues to work closely in partnership with the Surrey RCMP, BC Coroners Service and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section.
