Indian-origin man shot dead in suspected gang war in Canada

In Canada, an Indian-origin man was brutally killed in Burnaby on Thursday. Police suspect that the killing is linked to the ongoing BC gang conflict. The shooting took place at around 5:30 pm (local time) near the 3700 block of Canada Way. Frontline officers rushed to the scene after getting a distress call about the gunfire and found the victim suffering from a severe bullet injury. Despite life-saving efforts, the victim succumbed to his injuries. Within minutes of the shooting, police also located a vehicle fully engulfed in flames in the 5000 block of Buxton Street, several kilometres from the shooting site, the statement added.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken over the case and formally identified the victim as Dilraj Singh Gill, a resident of Vancouver. IHIT investigators believe that this was a targeted shooting. Gill was known to police, and the shooting appears to have a nexus to the BC gang conflict, police said. 
Investigators are also asking for video captured earlier, between 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm, near Canada Way and Laurel Street, between Boundary Road and Gilmore Way, the RCMP statement added. Anyone with information is urged to contact IHIT or submit tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers. Police said the investigation is underway and that additional updates will be provided as new details emerge.
