Police investigating overnight extortion-related shooting in Surrey, B.C.

Apr 22, 2026 | 10:14 AM

SURREY — Police are investigating after another case of shots fired at a building in Surrey, B.C., that is believed to be linked to the latest spasm in extortion violence.

Surrey police say they were called to a home near King George Boulevard and 88 Avenue just before 1 a.m. on Wednesday.

Investigators say they found the house damaged with bullet casings outside but no one inside was injured.

Police say they believe the shooting is linked to extortion, and the city’s response team formed specifically for such cases has taken over the investigation.

There’s been a spike in overnight shootings at homes and businesses in the city this year, mostly aimed at members of the South Asian community.

The city has set up a $250,000 reward fund for cases where information from the public helps their investigations, while a B.C. provincial task force was also established last year to focus on the problem.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 22, 2026.
