SURREY – The man who was critically injured in a shooting Tuesday night in Surrey Fraser Heights area has died and his murder may be connected to the murder of former local gangster Jimi Sandhu, who was allegedly gunned down by foreign assassins in Thailand last week.
On February 8, at 11:30 pm, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of shots fired in the area of 16800-block of 104 Avenue. An unnamed male and a female were located in a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds. Both victims were transported to hospital, the woman in serious condition and the man with life-threatening injuries.
Police said Thursday that the male victim has succumbed to his injuries and the investigation has been turned over to Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
Investigators are looking at whether the Surrey shooting and now murder may have been in retaliation for the Sandhu hut in Thailand last Friday of the United Nations gangster who used to live in B.C.
According to a Postmedia story, the murdered man in in the Surrey shooting is connected to the Brothers Keepers gang.
The 24-year-old had convictions for drug trafficking and was the subject of a 2017 civil forfeiture lawsuit filed by the B.C. government to keep suspected drug money that has been seized by police.
The Brothers Keepers is one of the gangs that has been at war with the UN for years. UN gangster Sandhu, who was deported from Canada in 2016 for “serious criminality,” was shot to death outside his luxury villa on the island of Phuket in Thailand.
People connected to both the Brothers Keepers and the Wolf Pack, another UN rival, were celebrating Sandhu’s slaying on social media.
Earlier, CFSEU Sgt. Brenda Winpenny told Postmedia that police here were working together “to mitigate any potential retribution or violence associated to (Sandhu’s) death.”Meanwhile, officials in Ottawa wouldn’t comment on whether they are investigating how Sandhu, 32, ended up with a fraudulent passport in the name of Mandeep Singh, supposedly issued in Saskatoon on Jan. 28, 2021 — five years after Sandhu was removed from Canada, reported
Postmedia.
