Richmond Police Release Suspect Description In Targeted Killing Of Amarjit Singh Sandhu

Darpan News Desk , 07 Jun, 2016 12:50 PM
    Richmond: The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team continues to move forward with evidence processing and managing the many witnesses who have come forward to police in regards to the homicide of Amarjit Singh Sandhu.
     
    Investigators have released the crime scene but they continue to be in the area today speaking with witnesses and business owners to assist with information and evidence collection.
     
    There have been many varying versions of events from witnesses, including the suspect description. A consistent suspect description that has been provided is the following:
     
    Suspect is described as being a male in his early to mid 20’s, approximately 6 feet tall, slim/slender build, wearing a grey or light grey coloured hoodie or coat, medium to dark coloured pants and possibly wearing a baseball cap.
     
     
    Sandhu is listed as president of Sandhill Developments Ltd — its main offices located across from where he was shot.
     
    He and the company are named in more than 80 civil lawsuits in B.C. dating back to the 1990s.
     
    In a recent case, Sandhu took the Khalsa Diwan Society of the Ross Street Gurdwara to court. His actions led to an election being called for leaders at the Ross Street Sikh temple in Vancouver that is scheduled for September.
     
    An official with the party opposed to changes Sandhu was seeking at the temple believes the shooting is unrelated.
     
    "To my knowledge just for the sake of an election nobody would take such a big risk," said Ranjit Hayer with the Khalsa Diwan Society.
     
    IHIT is asking anyone with information about this homicide to contact the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448, or if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
