Indian-Origin Man Shot Dead in Canada's Burnaby, Police Probe Gang War Link

  • Dilraj Singh Gill, 28, an Indian-origin man from Vancouver, was fatally shot on January 22 in Burnaby, Canada.
  • The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) believes the shooting was a targeted attack linked to the ongoing gang conflict in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland.
  • A vehicle found engulfed in flames near the shooting site is suspected to be the getaway car, a tactic common in organised gang violence.
  • Gill's killing may be connected to the earlier murder of Navpreet Dhaliwal, another Indo-Canadian, in Abbotsford, both reportedly linked to rival gangs.
  • Both Gill and Dhaliwal had prior criminal convictions and were known to law enforcement, with Dhaliwal out on bail at the time of his death.
