A 20-year-old Indian student named Harshandeep Singh was shot and killed in an apartment in Edmonton, Canada, on Friday. Police have arrested two suspects, Evan Rain and Judith Saulteaux, both aged 30, and charged them with first-degree murder.
Harshandeep, who worked as a security guard, was found by police in the building’s stairwell after they were called about a gunshot around 12:30 a.m. on December 6. Officers think he was shot from behind while being pushed down the stairs by three people, according to some CCTV footage. After the shooting, the suspects ran away. Emergency services tried to help Harshandeep and took him to the hospital, but he was sadly declared dead.
Police have recovered a weapon and believe Harshandeep was targeted. An autopsy is scheduled for December 9 to figure out more about his death. This incident comes soon after another Indian student named Gurasis Singh was stabbed to death in Ontario. Gurasis was 22 and studying business at Lambton College. A man named Crossley Hunter, aged 36, has been charged with his murder.
The authorities are still looking into both cases but believe Gurasis’s murder was not racially motivated. Lambton College shared their sadness over Gurasis’s passing and said they are helping his family with funeral plans.
