Region of Peel – Investigators from the Homicide and Missing Persons Bureau have charged a 16-year-old male youth in relation to a homicide investigation.

On Thursday, August 13, 2020, emergency services received a call for medical assistance for an unconscious man located on a pathway in the area of Queen Mary Drive and Heathwood Drive in the City of Brampton. When officers arrived on the scene a man was located showing obvious signs of trauma and was transported to a local hospital with vital signs absent.  He was pronounced deceased at the hospital a short time later.

The victim has been identified as Surajdeep Singh, a 22-year-old man from the City of Brampton.

“Surajdeep Singh was a young man with a bright future. He was simply trying to return to his residence from his place of worship when he was the victim of an unprovoked attack that tragically took him away from his family” said Martin Ottaway, Superintendent in charge of Investigative Services.
