Indian student, 20, shot dead in Canada; Suspects arrested
Edmonton: A 20-year-old Indian student, Harshandeep Singh, was shot dead in an apartment in Edmonton on December 6, according to local police.
Singh, who was working as a security guard, was found unresponsive in the stairwell of a building on 107th Avenue after police responded to reports of gunshots at around 12:30 am. Emergency services transported him to a hospital, where he was declared dead.
The Edmonton Police have arrested two suspects, Evan Rain and Judith Saulteaux, both aged 30, and charged them with first-degree murder in connection with Singh’s death. A weapon was recovered during their arrest.
A CCTV footage reportedly shows three individuals harassing Singh, throwing him down the stairs, and one of them shooting him from behind before fleeing the scene. The veracity of the footage has not been independently verified.
Authorities have stated that the postmortem will be conducted on December 9, and the motive behind the crime remains unclear.
This incident follows another recent case in Sarnia, Ontario, where a 22-year-old Indian student, Gurasis Singh, was stabbed to death. Police arrested a 36-year-old suspect, Crossley Hunter, and charged him with second-degree murder.
