Mounties launched a homicide investigation after officers found the victim suffering from stab wounds in the 6600 block of King George Boulevard.
Police were called to the scene at 11:50 p.m. for reports of a fight. Investigators say there are early indications that two people got into an altercation before the victim was stabbed.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, despite life-saving efforts from police and paramedics, the Surrey RCMP said in a statement Wednesday.
"It is unknown if the two parties involved were known to each other prior to the incident, or what the motivation for the incident was," the statement said.
"The suspect is described as a white male, 6’ tall, clean shaven with short, sandy blonde hair."
Investigators remained at the scene Wednesday with King George Boulevard closed to all traffic between 64 Avenue and 68 Avenue. Drivers are asked to avoid the area
