Dilraj Singh Gill, a 28-year-old Indian-origin man, was fatally shot in Canada — Burnaby, Canada — British Columbia, on January 22. The Canada — Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) believes the targeted killing is linked to the ongoing gang conflict in Canada — British Columbia's Lower Mainland region. The Canada — Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) responded to reports of gunfire and found Dilraj Singh Gill with critical injuries; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A vehicle found engulfed in flames nearby is suspected to be the getaway car, a tactic commonly associated with organized gang violence in Canada — British Columbia. Dilraj Singh Gill was known to police and had a criminal history, including drug-related charges. Local media reports suggest a possible connection to the earlier murder of Navpreet Dhaliwal in Canada — Abbotsford, who was allegedly associated with the Brothers Keepers gang, a rival to the United Nations (gang) with which Dilraj Singh Gill was reportedly linked. Dilraj Singh Gill and Anmol Sandhu had previously faced charges including conspiracy to commit murder, drug trafficking, and firearms violations.
