SURREY – Two Indo-Canadian men have been charged with a number of offences following a shooting in Guildford on Friday, December 29, 2023.

Surrey RCMP said Monday 24-year-old Roman Arinder Gill and 28-year-old Shaun Narinder Gill were charged with the following offences.

Roman Arinder Gill has been charged with discharging a firearm, assault police officer with a weapon, and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Shaun Narinder Gill has been charged with flight from police and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Police did not elaborate if the two Gills are related but they did say the shooting was part of the ongoing Gang conflict in the lower mainland.

On December 29, 2023, frontline officers responded to a report of shots fired in the area of 101 Avenue and 156 Street. Two male suspects – the Gills – fled the area in a blue Range Rover.

While officers were attempting to stop the vehicle, one of the suspects allegedly pointed a firearm at a police officer.

With assistance from Surrey Traffic Services, Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Services, Air 1 and Langley RCMP, the two suspects were arrested in the area of 198 Street and 57 Avenue in Langley.

Surrey RCMP General Investigation Unit took conduct of the investigation and on December 30, 2023 and charged Roman Arinder Gill and Shaun Narinder Gill.

Both men are known to police and this incident is believed to be linked to the BC Gang Conflict. They have both been remanded and as this matter is now before the courts, there will be no further details provided.

“Thankfully no one was injured during this brazen incident,” said Staff Sergeant Ian MacLellan of the Surrey RCMP General Investigation Unit. “We understand shootings put the community on edge and we too find this level of violence to be unnerving. Our team of investigators with the Surrey RCMP General Investigation Unit have worked non-stop to pursue these charges against the suspects,” added MacLellan.
