RCMP say a man has died after an attack in north Surrey.

A release from the detachment says officers responded to a report of a disturbance just before 5 p.m. Monday.

A critically injured man was found, but Staff Sgt. Joe Johal says the victim died before he could be taken to hospital.

Johal says the slaying does not appear random, but is not believed to be linked to gang activity.

He did not confirm a cause of death.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, composed of RCMP and municipal police officers from detachments across the Lower Mainland, has been called and Johal says the team will not be providing any further details.
