  • 18-Yr-Old Sehajdeep Sidhu Identified As Victim Of Abbotsford Shooting, 2 Others Injured

The victim of a gang-related targeted shooting in Abbotsford has been identified as 18-year-old Sehajdeep Sidhu.

 

Sidhu did not have a criminal record but was known to police, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

 

In a statement, police said two other people were also injured in the incident but are expected to survive. One is 17 years old. The other is an adult and both were known to Sidhu.

 

Police said a black Nissan Pathfinder fled the scene after the shooting and was identified as a suspect vehicle. Cpl. Frank Jang said the SUV was found in the 27000 block of 60th Avenue in Langley around 6:30 p.m.

 

"A family, friends are left grieving for him regardless of whether he was involved in the drug trade or had any type of criminal associations. I mean, this is an 18-year-old young man who lost his life," Jang said.
 
 
"As a homicide investigator, I'm still going to do my best, as well as the rest of IHIT, to determine exactly what happened to Mr. Sidhu."
 
 
 
 

"These are young people in the crossfires," Jang said. "It's just a reminder that people in the gang lifestyle, they are in harm's way and anyone associated to people in this conflict could be in danger."

 

"This was a brazen shooting in a quiet residential area around dinner time. This incident showed a blatant disregard for the safety of the public."

 

"These are 17, 18-year-olds shooting at each other and it's concerning. As somebody who lives in the LM and a police officer, it's alarming to me as well. I've seen footage of residents in the area and they're concerned and fearful."

 

Anyone with information is asked to contact IHIT or Crime Stoppers.
