At approximately 3:00 a.m. on December 14, 2024, RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit officers responded to a report of a stabbing at a residence on the 14700 block of 108A Avenue, Surrey. Upon arrival, they found two individuals with life-threatening injuries. Despite efforts to save her, one woman died at the scene, while the second victim was taken to the hospital in serious condition.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken over the investigation, which is still in its early stages. IHIT is working closely with Surrey Police Service and RCMP officers to complete key tasks in the case.

Update: Following IHIT’s deployment, investigators have worked closely with the Integrated Forensic Identification Service (IFIS), SPS, RCMP SPOSU and the BC Coroners Service to advance the investigation.

On April 15, 2025, 21-year-old Gurtaj Singh was arrested and charged with one count of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Singh remains in custody until his next court appearance.

While charges have been laid against Mr. Singh, this investigation is not over, says Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. We believe there are additional parties who were involved in this act of violence and we will continue in our pursuit to bring all those responsible to justice for the victims and their families.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding this case to please contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448)
