On the morning of Oct. 27, 68-year-old-millionaire businessman, Darshan Singh Sahsi, was murdered by an armed attacker in the 31300-block area of Ridgeview Drive. Security footage revealed that Sahsi was shot multiple times by the murderer through the car window of his vehicle just outside his place of residence. The shooter managed to escape in their own vehicle and first responders arrived shortly after, but were unable to save Sahsi.
The news of the murder led to three local schools in the area being warned of the shooting and were required to follow the “shelter-in-place” protocol. This procedure involves people staying safely inside due to a perceived danger until notified the danger has passed. However, no students were directly impacted after the fact.
It has also been confirmed that this crime was premeditated and Sahsi was directly targeted by the offender. The president of a recycling textile company called Canam Group, Sahsi reportedly had no known public adversaries and was considered a humanitarian to the community. At the time of this writing, the Abbotsford Police Department’s investigation on the matter is still ongoing and the shooter remains at large.
