A 27-year-old man of Punjab origin was shot dead in a suspected targeted gang attack in Surrey, near Vancouver, on Saturday night. The incident has raised fresh concerns over escalating organised crime-linked violence in Canada.

The victim, identified as Jasman Sekhon, was killed at a residential complex in a suburban neighbourhood. According to reports, the killing appeared to be a calculated execution.

During the investigation, witnesses informed that Sekhon was being chased by a dark-coloured SUV shortly before the shooting. It was reported that two men got out of the vehicle and opened fire at close range.

Following the attack, Sekhon suffered multiple gunshot wounds and collapsed on the spot. He was declared dead at the scene.

In a statement, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Sekhon had prior interactions with police and was believed to have links to the drug trade.

As per the initial probe, it is believed that the killing was targeted and tied to organised crime networks.

Shortly after the shooting, authorities discovered a burning vehicle nearby, a detail investigators say is often associated with gangland killings, where suspects torch getaway vehicles to destroy evidence and avoid detection.

The police have launched an investigation into the matter and are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the homicide and identify all parties involved.
