SURREY — Homicide investigators have been called to Surrey, B.C., after a man was found lying near a roadway with fatal gunshot wounds.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says local officers responded to reports of a man lying near the 3500 block of 176 Street just after noon Tuesday and paramedics subsequently pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police have since identified the victim as 46-year-old Baljinder “Binder” Singh Garcha of Surrey.

Sukhi Dhesi with IHIT says the investigation is in its early stages, but police do not believe there is a connection to gang conflict in the region.

However police say they do believe a vehicle fire reported the same day along 40 Avenue in Surrey is related to the man’s death.
