SURREY – The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is requesting public assistance to further its ongoing investigation into the gangland style murder of Austin Grewal of Surrey.

The short clip shows two males walking on a residential street in Maple Ridge. Both men are wearing hoods, and their faces cannot be seen. The video is only 24 seconds long, but officials hope it will be enough to convince members of the public to come forward.

It was captured by a surveillance camera in the neighbourhood where a red Chrysler 300 was abandoned. Police found the car abandoned near 201 Street and 123A Avenue in Maple Ridge on the same evening as Grewal’s murder in Surrey.
