Man dead, suspect at large after stabbing in Surrey, B.C.
One man is dead and the perpetrator is at large following a stabbing Tuesday night in the Newton area of Surrey, B.C.
Mounties launched a homicide investigation after officers found the victim suffering from stab wounds in the 6600 block of King George Boulevard.
Police were called to the scene at 11:50 p.m. for reports of a fight. Investigators say there are early indications that two people got into an altercation before the victim was stabbed.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, despite life-saving efforts from police and paramedics.
"At this time, investigators do believe that this was an isolated incident between these two individuals," Surrey RCMP Sgt. Tammy Lobb told CTV News in an interview, adding that police are still working to determine the relationship between them, and the motivation for the incident.
Police describe the suspect as a white male, approximately 6' tall and say he was clean-shaven and has sandy blonde hair.
"I can tell you that the Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit is working closely with IHIT who has now taken conduct of this investigation. And they are working hard to identify who the suspect is," Lobb said.
Investigators remained at the scene for much of the morning. King George Boulevard was temporarily closed to traffic between 64 Avenue and 68 Avenue but has since reopened.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact IHIT, the Surrey RCMP serious crimes unit or Crime Stoppers.
