The Alberta RCMP have found a vehicle linked to a deadly shooting that happened on March 14, 2026, near Leduc, Alberta. The truck, a grey 2022 Ford F-150, was recovered by investigators on March 19, 2026, as part of an ongoing homicide investigation.

The incident occurred around 2:50 p.m. on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway near Township Road 490. Birinder Singh, a 22-year-old student from Edmonton, was driving a black Honda Civic when someone in a passing truck fired a gun into his car, striking him in the neck.

The Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit has taken over the case and is searching for those responsible. Witnesses told police the shooting seemed unprovoked, noting that the people in the truck had gestured with a peace sign before the weapon was fired.

Singh moved to Canada from India three years ago and had been living in Edmonton for five months. The World Sikh Organization of Canada is calling for the killing to be investigated as a hate crime, while a GoFundMe campaign has raised over $25,000 to help his family with funeral costs.

Police are still looking for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage of the highway from the afternoon of the shooting. If you have information, you can call the Leduc detachment at 780-980-7267 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
