RCMP in Surrey are investigating what they believe is a targeted shooting -- the second in less than 24 hours.

Last night, a passenger in a car driving in the area of 144th St. and 90th Ave. was shot at least once in the side when a masked man opened fire on the vehicle.

Surrey RCMP believe the driver was the intended target and say the incident appears to be an ongoing dispute and is not gang-related.

The pair drove to the hospital on their own -- where police confiscated the car. The victim is expected to recover.

The attack comes less than a day after Surrey resident Andrew Cilliers was shot in the head in his car on a Surrey street in what police believe was a targeted attack.

The 26-year-old was rushed to hospital in serious condition, but died shortly after from his injuries.

His death marks Surrey's first homicide of 2009.
