A 20-year-old Indian student, Harshandeep Singh, working as a security guard, was fatally shot in an apartment building in Edmonton, Canada, early on Friday. Two suspects, Evan Rain and Judith Saulteaux, both 30, have been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, according to officials.
The incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. after police responded to gunfire reports near 107th Avenue. Singh was found unresponsive in a stairwell and rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Edmonton police confirmed the arrest of the accused and recovered a weapon during the operation. Investigators believe no other individuals were involved in the incident.
A purported CCTV video of the attack, which has not been officially verified by the police, reportedly shows Singh being thrown down the stairs by one of the attackers, who then shoots him from behind. The footage captures a man shouting and repeatedly raising a firearm while a woman and another individual look on.
