Surrey, BC- The Surrey Police Service is investigating an early morning shooting at a residence in Surrey’s Newton neighbourhood that is believed to be connected to an ongoing extortion investigation.
Police say frontline officers responded to reports of gunfire near 57 Avenue and 148 Street at approximately 4:40 a.m. on May 20, 2026.
When officers arrived, they found damage to a home and evidence that multiple shots had been fired. The residence was occupied at the time of the incident, but fortunately no injuries were reported.
