2021 Richmond homicide linked to multiple Lower Mainland shootings

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is linking a 2021 Richmond homicide with a series of Lower Mainland shootings.
In March 2021, brothers Chaten and Joban Dhindsa, 25 and 23 respectively, were found deceased by Richmond RCMP officers after they arrived at a structure fire in the 22000 block of Rathburn Drive in east Richmond. The injuries sustained by the Dhindsa brothers were consistent with a homicide, and IHIT assumed conduct of the investigation and worked in partnership with the RCMP Integrated Forensic Identification Section to process the scene.
Today, IHIT investigators revealed that information has linked the homicides of the Dhindsa brothers to a series of prior shootings throughout the Lower Mainland.
On Dec. 3, 2020, there was an incident in the 4500 block of No. 3 Road in which three suspect vehicles—a black Volkswagen Jetta, a silver Audi and a black Range Rover—were identified following a shots-fired call in the area. This incident is said to have been a precursor to the homicide according to an IHIT news release.
“These are complex investigations that go far beyond a single shooting,” says Sgt. Timothy Pierotti of IHIT. “I commend the investigative team and forensic experts that continue to work relentlessly as information continues to come in.”
IHIT is asking anyone with information regarding the homicides of the Dhindsa brothers, the December 2020 shooting, or any events that lead to the Dhindsas’ deaths to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
