Kamloops RCMP mark fourth anniversary of unsolved 2022 rural homicide

The BC RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit is marking the fourth anniversary of the homicide of 18-year-old Jagraj Dhinsa, whose death in rural Kamloops remains unsolved.

Dhinsa was found deceased in a parking lot along Chilcotin Road in January 2022. Police have not released further details about the circumstances surrounding his death, but confirm the case continues to be actively investigated by the Southeast District Major Crime Unit.

Staff Sergeant Jason Smart, unit commander of the SED MCU, said the investigation remains a priority for police and the justice system.

Police are again appealing to the public for assistance, asking anyone who may have information about Dhinsa’s death to come forward. Investigators are particularly interested in speaking with individuals who had contact with him, or who may have knowledge of his activities or whereabouts during January 2022.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the SED MCU information line at 1-877-987-8477. Police note that even small details could help advance the investigation.
