A 28-year-old Indian-origin man was shot dead in Canada in what police believe was a “targeted” attack linked to gang activity.
The incident occurred on January 22 in Burnaby city of British Columbia province, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said in a statement on Friday (January 23. 2026).
Around 5:30 p.m. local time, Burnaby police “responded to reports of gunfire near the 3700 block of Canada Way. On arrival, police found a male victim with critical injuries. Despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene,” it said.
The victim has been identified as 28-year-old Dilraj Singh Gill of Vancouver.
Police said Gill was known to them, and the shooting “appears to have a nexus to the British Columbia Gang conflict”.
