Sikh and son shot dead in Canada, police say – incident a result of gang war

Toronto. A Sikh man and his 11-year-old son have been shot dead in Edmonton, Canada. Harpreet Singh Uppal, 41, and his son were shot dead in their vehicle outside a gas station in the shopping plaza on Thursday. Edmonton police said both victims died at the scene. Another boy in the car survived. Police said Uppal was a member of the Brothers Keepers gang and the killing was linked to the rival UN gang. He narrowly escaped an attack in October 2021, when a gunman fired several bullets at him while he was having dinner with his family at a pizza shop.

Police said Uppal was chased with the intention to kill and that is what happened. Police said that we do not yet know about the youth and his son and why they have been targeted. The deceased was jailed for 15 months in 2013 for illegal possession of firearms. He was facing trial on charges of possession and trafficking of cocaine. He has also been charged with assault with a firearm and illegal possession of a firearm in the past. Local media reports say Uppal is a member of an organized crime group in Edmonton. crime was a ‘big name’ in the field.

According to the police, it was not clear whether the assailants knew that there were children in the car when they started chasing Uppal. But the attacker deliberately shot and killed the child. Police said killing children was once a line that criminal gang members refused to cross, but that is now changing. Police said it does not seem likely that most members of criminal gangs would agree to this. Police have not released the boy’s name pending a post-mortem. Currently, the police have not made any arrests in the case and have not identified any suspects.
