Indian-Origin Man Shot Dead in Burnaby; Gang War Suspected

  • Dilraj Singh Gill, 28, an Indian-origin man from Vancouver, was fatally shot in Burnaby, Canada, on January 22.
  • The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) believes the killing was a targeted attack linked to the ongoing gang conflict in British Columbia's Lower Mainland region.
  • Police found a burning vehicle near the crime scene, suspected to be the getaway car, a common tactic in organised gang violence.
  • Gill's murder may be connected to the earlier killing of Navpreet Dhaliwal, 28, in Abbotsford, with both men reportedly linked to rival gangs.
  • Gill had a criminal history, including a 2021 drug conviction, and Dhaliwal was out on bail for serious charges at the time of his death.
