More than a year after Bikramdip Randhava was killed in a parking lot in Delta, British Columbia, police say they are “convinced” of the wrong identity.
An BC Corrections employee was shot and killed in a Walmart parking lot on May 1, 2021. No charges have been filed to date.
After extensive interviews and more than 300 follow-up tasks in the investigation, Delta police also said they were “confident” that they had identified suspects in the murder.
