An Indian origin man lost his life in Canada in a shooting reportedly linked to drug activity in the area. The incident has raised concerns about rising violence. Authorities are treating the case as serious and have begun a detailed investigation.
Jasman Sekhon, aged 27, was shot dead in Surrey on Saturday evening. Police described it as a targeted attack linked to organised crime. The incident occurred in the usually quiet Sullivan Heights neighbourhood, where multiple gunfire reports were received around 6:39 pm.
Officers shared official details of the case on Monday. They found Sekhon with gunshot wounds at the scene. Despite immediate emergency response, he could not be saved, and was declared dead shortly after.
Investigators later stated that Sekhon allegedly had prior interactions recorded in the system. He was believed to have links to the drug trade. This information has raised questions about the possible motive behind the killing.
Police say early evidence points to a planned attack. Witnesses claimed a dark SUV chased Sekhon before two men got out and opened fire. These details suggest the shooting was carefully executed.
Based on eyewitness accounts, officers located a blue Hyundai SUV burning about 15 minutes away. Police believe the vehicle may be connected to the incident. Such methods are often used in gang related crimes to destroy evidence.
Surrey has reportedly witnessed four shootings within 48 hours. This pattern has raised concerns about increasing gun violence in the region. Police have urged residents present near the scene to come forward and assist with the investigation.
