Surrey shooting victim identified as 21 year old Pritpal Singh

Share On

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has identified Pritpal Singh as the victim of a fatal shooting outside a Surrey home early April 7.

Police say Singh was shot just after 12:40 a.m. outside a residence on 138A Street near 88 Avenue. Investigators are working with the Surrey RCMP, the Integrated Forensic Identification Services, and the B.C. Coroners Service to determine a motive. IHIT noted the case does not appear linked to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.

The shooting shook residents in the Newton neighbourhood. Parminder Gill, who lives nearby, told Connect News Team the incident left her family uneasy. “This is a quiet street most of the time. When we heard shots in the middle of the night, everyone was frightened. People want to know if they are safe in their own homes.”

Surrey has recorded a rise in violent crime calls in residential areas over the past two years. City council has debated increasing community policing resources in Newton, and councillors have previously urged more funding for street-level patrols.

IHIT investigators are asking anyone with information or dashcam footage to contact their tip line at 1-877-551-4448 or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Odd complaints about haircuts, hornets and luggage top B.C.’s unusual 911 calls of 2025

British Columbia’s main emergency call centre says complaints about luggage size, a bad haircut and even a household hornet were among the most unusual 911 calls received this year, highlighting ongoing misuse of the emergency line. E-Comm, which answers about 99 per cent of 911 calls across the province, says it handles roughly two million calls annually. While most callers use the service appropriately, officials say a small number continue to call for situations that do not require police, firefighters or paramedics. Among the calls flagged in E-Comm’s year-end list were reports about a

Dozens of luxury motorcycles tied to Canadian fugitive Ryan Wedding seized in Mexico, FBI says

U.S. authorities say they have recovered dozens of high-end motorcycles linked to Ryan Wedding, the former Canadian Olympic snowboarder now accused of leading an international drug trafficking operation. The Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates the motorcycles, seized during raids in Mexico City and the surrounding State of Mexico, are worth approximately US$40 million. The raids, conducted last week, targeted four properties connected to a suspect whose description matches Wedding’s, according to Mexico’s Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection. In addition to the motorcycles,
