Police in Surrey, B.C., still have no suspects in the shooting death of a high-profile member of the Lower Mainland Muslim community.
Riasat Ali Khan, 69, was shot and killed late Sunday night as he stepped out of his car. He staggered to the door of his home, where he was found by his son.
The RCMP say they have no motive for the killing.
An older model pickup truck, possibly a Toyota, was seen leaving the area.
