Homicide police identify man found shot dead inside Surrey home
Brian Chapman, 62, was known to police, RCMP say
Homicide investigators have identified 62-year-old Surrey, B.C., resident Brian Chapman as the fatal victim of a weekend shooting.
The RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team released Chapman's name in on Wednesday.
According to a news release, Chapman was known to police and, while his death is not believed to be connected to Lower Mainland gang conflict, it is also not being considered a random incident.
Chapman was discovered inside a home near Bear Creek Park on Sunday evening after police were called to the 13500 block of 84th Avenue just before 6 p.m. PT.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, RCMP said Monday.
Police say the actual shooting might have occurred around 7 a.m. PT on Sunday.
Homicide investigators are seeking witnesses who might have heard or seen anything unusual and are requesting dash cam footage from that area.
