Wife of the victim was a witness of murder of Surrey: police

Police said they plan to talk again about a woman who watched with horror that her old husband of 30 years was shot and killed Wednesday night in Surrey.

Homicide investigators say that the woman told police a white SUV that collided with the Lexus couple as she changed lanes on the 128 Street near Avenue 68.

The husband is out of the car and was shot as he approached the SUV. He was hit by at least a ball, ran on the sidewalk and collapsed, police said.

When the police arrived, they found the man in serious medical distress. Despite attempts to save him, he was pronounced dead on arrival at a local hospital.

Name of the victim was not released, but wife of the victim, who was on board the vehicle in the incident, was questioned by the police.

Police are now seeking to a South Asian man who was seen leaving the area in the white SUV.

"Driver of SUV, regarded as a man of South Asia, was seen leaving the South of the zone on 128 Street by 64 Avenue", corporal Dale Carr of the integrated Homicide investigation team said in a statement issued Thursday morning.

"The suspect vehicle is described as a white vehicle, SUV Ford Explorer-type with trim on the bottom of the vehicle in money" he said.

Police are still investigating if the murder was the result of the road-rage, but Carr said that it does not appear the victim and the gunman knew each other, and police have found no link with drugs or gangs so far.

"We want to establish what had happened before the collision," he said.

"Police is seeking to speak to someone who may have seen an erratic driver in a white SUV between 11 p.m. and midnight in the area of Newton from Surrey," said Carr.

Carr, said the woman remains traumatized and investigators are also sensitive to what they may be when dealing with someone who has witnessed the death of a loved one.
