A spokesman with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the man was arrested at a home just a few blocks from the parking lot of a south Surrey mall where the unidentified victim was found early Friday.

Sgt. Frank Jang says charges have not been laid.

Surrey RCMP said in a statement that the victim was found by officers around 3 a.m., and died a short time later from apparent stab wounds.

The statement said the attack was believed to be targeted but Jang says further evidence is required before that can be confirmed.

He says a police dog led officers to the home where the suspect was arrested and the investigation is ongoing.
