Overview
- Police charged 32-year-old Brian Kiraly-Miller with first-degree murder after he was arrested in Kamloops on Thursday, May 28 and remains in custody ahead of a Surrey provincial court appearance on June 5.
- The victim, 46-year-old Baljinder “Binder” Singh Garcha, was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene on Jan. 13 in the 3500-block of 176 Street in Surrey.
- IHIT has called the killing a targeted shooting but is withholding motive and many investigative details because of ongoing court proceedings, and investigators have linked a nearby torched vehicle to the case.
- Reporting and court records show Kiraly-Miller has a criminal history that includes a 2021 conspiracy-to-murder conviction and other past charges, and media accounts have tied him to the Wolf Pack network.
- Garcha’s death is being seen in the context of several recent killings of Indo-Canadian businessmen in the Lower Mainland and investigators say the probe could shed light on possible organized-gang connections and related cases.
