Police say a man is dead after a shooting in Surrey, B.C., on Thursday night.

Officers received reports of the shooting around 7:30 p.m. and were called to a residential area near 108 Avenue and 129 Street, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

IHIT says the shots were fired outside of a residence and officers arrived to find a man suffering from life-threatening injuries. He died at the scene. 

The Surrey Police Service (SPS) says it's the city's fourth recorded homicide this year.

"While the motive is still under investigation, the incident does not appear to be random in nature," said SPS Sgt. Tige Pollock in a news release.

IHIT is asking anyone with information, or dashcam footage from the area from between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., to get in touch. It said it hopes to provide an update on the case on Friday.
