Ottawa: A 25-year-old, Indo-Canadian gangster Karnvir Singh Garcha was shot and killed in the Canadian province of British Columbia. A squad from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) was sent to the area after receiving a call reporting gunfire. When the officers arrived, they discovered Garcha laying on the ground suffering from gunshot wounds and started performing life-saving procedures right away. He did, however, die from gunshot wounds.
According to police, Garcha was dropped off at a condo complex minutes before he was fatally shot. He was scheduled to make a court appearance on two matters, July 6: one on a charge of breaching a release order, and a second on assault charges dating back to March of 2019, CTV News reported.
Calling the killing an “unfortunate incident”, police spokesperson Sergeant Timothy Pierotti told CTV News that they were trying to determine if Garcha lived in the condo building and build a timeline of events leading up to the killing. "Investigators have learned that Garcha was dropped off at the scene minutes before the homicide," police said.
“We are looking to speak with anyone who had contact with Garcha in the days leading up to the shooting, including the driver of the vehicle that dropped him off.”
Last year in December, the Surrey RCMP issued a public safety warning for Garcha, and 22-year-old Harkirat Jhutty – the two Indo-Canadian men allegedly involved in gang activities.
According to the RCMP, the warning was issued because of "a significant threat to the public posed by these individuals through their connection to criminal activity and high levels of violence, police believe that anyone connected to or in proximity to them may be putting themselves at risk."
