Police seek help in identifying suspects in Grewal murder
Homicide investigators have released surveillance photos of two men believed to be involved in the murder last December of Brothers Keepers gang boss Gavinder Grewal.
Cpl. Frank Jang, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said IHIT has “gathered significant evidence and is looking to identify individuals involved in the murder.”
“Surveillance footage has identified two vehicles that investigators believe are associated to the murder of Mr. Grewal,” Jang said.
Grewal was found dead in his apartment on Dec. 23, 2017 “with injuries consistent with homicide.” He was killed in a penthouse suite of a North Vancouver apartment where he had been living since getting bail on a manslaughter charged in September 2017.
Grewal sub-leased his suite from former Vancouver realtor Omid Mashinchi, who is facing money-laundering charges in Boston.
Jang said Grewal “was known to police and associated to gang activity.”
In fact, Grewal’s the Brothers Keepers had a major internal conflict with former associates turning on each other. “Investigators believe Mr. Grewal’s murder was targeted and linked to other gang violence in the Lower Mainland,” Jang said.
The suspects are described as South Asian, one between 20 to 25 years old wearing a black jacket and a white shirt. The second is described as slightly older, between 25 and 30, with a beard and wearing a toque and a dark jacket.
The two men were in the Nissan Titan, Jang said.
“We are asking the public’s help in identifying these two males or anyone associated to the Lexus RX350 or the Nissan Titan,” he said. “There are people who have information about what happened to Mr. Grewal. We urge anyone with information to please come forward and speak with IHIT so that we can hold those responsible to account.”
