Prominent Developer Amarjit Singh Sandhu, 56, Dead After 'Targeted' Shooting In Richmond

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Jun, 2016 12:30 PM
    RICHMOND, B.C. — Richmond RCMP say a man is dead after a weekend shooting.
     
    The Police have identified the 56-year-old man as prominent developer and Vancouver Sikh Youth slate leader, Amarjit Singh Sandhu.
     
    Emergency crews responded to the incident at the south end of the city shortly after 6 p.m. on Saturday.
     
    Sandhu was rushed to hospital where he later died. At the scene, several bullet holes could be seen in the driver's side door of a black pickup truck.
     
     
    "The act of homicide is one that is selfish and cold," said Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) 
     
    "There is an extra element of concern when one chooses to commit this crime in such a bold and brazen manner in a very public setting."
     
    No one else was injured.
     
    Police have not released further details.
     
    The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team will be looking into the incident.
