- A witness reported seeing the man speak briefly with the woman before opening fire, killing her.
Navneet Kaur, a 26-year-old woman of Punjabi descent, was fatally shot in a targeted attack in Toronto's Etobicoke area early Friday morning. The suspect, Sharnjeet Singh, 37, has been charged with first-degree murder and failing to comply with an undertaking.
According to the Toronto Police, the incident occurred after a brief interaction between Kaur and Singh. Witnesses reported seeing Singh approach Kaur before he opened fire. A nearby witness described the scene, stating, "I saw a man approach the woman and speak with her briefly before opening fire." Following the shooting, Singh fled the scene but was apprehended later by the Ontario Provincial Police during a search operation.1
This tragic event has raised concerns within the community regarding safety and targeted violence. The police have classified the attack as targeted, indicating a premeditated act rather than random violence. Investigations are ongoing as authorities seek to understand the motive behind this shocking crime.
“A witness who was having coffee nearby told police he saw the shooter approach the woman and speak briefly with her. The shooter then opened fire, killing the Punjabi woman in a targeted Toronto attack.”
