THE Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) on Friday identified the victims of the July 30 targeted shooting at the South Surrey Athletic Park as Harbir Khosa, 26, Robeen Soreni, 20, Jordan Krishna, 19, all of Surrey, to further advance their investigation.

 Khosa and Krishna are both known to police.  

Homicide investigators confirmed that this shooting was a single, targeted incident confined to the parking lot and around a 2010 black BMW X5. The black BMW X5 was associated to all three victims.

Homicide investigators have determined that there was a single suspect shooter who fled on foot away from the black BMW X5. The suspect was described as a male wearing a dark hooded sweater, beige pants, and dark coloured baseball hat.

“We’ve established a timeline with the black BMW X5 arriving in the park around 2:27 p.m. and the shooting taking place right after,” said IHIT Sgt. David Lee. “The shooter then fled on foot in a western direction out of the park.”

IHIT is seeking witnesses who were at the South Surrey Athletic Park around 2:30 p.m. and may have seen the 2010 black BMW X5 or someone running from the parking lot.

On Friday, August 5, search warrants were executed at residence near the crime scene at the South Surrey Athletic Park in partnership with the Surrey Detachment and IFIS. IHIT confirms that this search is in connection to the shooting. One person was taken into custody, but no charges have yet been laid.

IHIT continues to liaise with Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) utilizing their information and resources. The investigation is still in its early stages, but indications are that this shooting has a nexus to gang and drug activity, IHIT said.

On July 30 at around 2:45 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a shooting in the parking lot of the South Surrey Athletic Park located at 14600 20 Avenue.
