Parkland County, Atla. – On Oct. 31, 2025, and Nov. 6, 2025, Parkland RCMP received reports of a home in Spring Meadow Estate in Parkland County being shot at. Fortunately, there were no injuries in either shooting. Investigation revealed that the victims were being threatened to extort money from them. Parkland RCMP General Investigation Section took carriage of and led an exhaustive investigation involving law enforcement partners in other parts of Alberta, BC, and Ontario. 

As a result of those efforts a suspect, Jagdeep Singh, was identified and on Nov. 17, 2025, he was arrested as he travelled through Red Deer Alta. A search incidental to his arrest led to the recovery of a firearm.  Singh was released from RCMP at that time pending further investigation which ultimately led to crown approving the charges and the obtaining of a Canada Wide arrest warrant that is now in effect.

Investigators sent the seized firearm away for testing at the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) / Provincial Firearms Lab and this firearm has been linked to 7 shootings across the country not related to this event.

Continued investigation revealed several key pieces of evidence linking the suspect to extortions targeting the South Asian community and the shootings of the residence in Parkland County.

Jagdeep Singh (24), a Foreign National, has been charged with:

• Extortion (x2);
• Discharging a firearm with intent (x2);
• Firearms offences (x8); and
• Disguise with intent (x2).

His whereabouts are currently unknown, and a Canada Wide warrant has been issued. Singh is also wanted by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) on a Canada-wide immigration warrant. We are seeking public assistance in locating Jagdeep Singh in relation to these charges.

Investigation identified two other incidents and suspects who were discharging a firearm recklessly out of a moving vehicle. The two suspects who although part of the same crime group are not directly related to the Parkland extortion shooting. 

On Feb 11, 2026, Ravinder Singh was arrested by EPS. After further collaboration between RCMP and EPS.

Ravinder Singh (25), a Foreign National, has been charged with:

• Discharging a firearm with intent (x2);
• Weapons offences (x4). 

Ravinder Singh is being held in custody.

On Feb. 13, 2026, Parkland RCMP assisted by EPS executed a search warrant at a home and vehicle in Edmonton. 

While at the home, police arrested Gurpreet Singh (24), an Foreign National. He has been charged with;

• Discharging a firearm with intent;
• Weapons offences (x2).

Gurpreet Singh remains in custody. 

During the search, RCMP seized a firearm consistent with that used in both Parkland shootings. 

Evidence gathered that pertains to other shootings in other jurisdictions has been handed over to their respective organizations. 

The investigation into these shootings continue and additional charges on other suspects could be considered.
