Surrey, BC- The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is investigating a fatal shooting that claimed the life of a 26-year-old man late Friday night in Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood. On November 28, 2025, at approximately 11:40 p.m., Surrey RCMP’s Provincial Operations Support Unit (SPOSU) responded to reports of gunfire near 152 Street and 104 Avenue. Officers arrived to find a man suffering from life-threatening injuries, but despite urgent life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
IHIT has taken conduct of the investigation and is working closely with SPOSU, the Surrey Police Service (SPS), Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS), and the BC Coroners Service. Investigators have identified the victim as 26-year-old Jaskaran Birring of Chilliwack. According to IHIT, Birring had previous interactions with police and was believed to be involved in the drug trade. Early indications suggest the shooting was targeted and connected to organized crime.
Approximately fifteen minutes after the shooting, a white Dodge Ram pickup truck was found fully engulfed in flames near 136 Street and 115 Avenue. IHIT is examining whether the burned vehicle is linked to the homicide. Investigators are appealing to anyone who was in either area between 9:00 p.m. and midnight on November 28 to come forward with information or video footage that could assist in the case.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
