Last Wednesday, British Columbia’s United Nations gangster, Parmvir Chahil, was shot and killed in Toronto.
Then, on Thursday, an 11-year-old boy was shot and killed along with his father and Brothers Keeper gang member Harpreet Singh Uppal in south Edmonton.
Police say the boy killed intentionally, which is a violation of the unwritten gang habit that saves children.
The boy’s friend, who was also in the attacked vehicle in broad sunlight in front of a gas station, did not fire.
Uppal and his circle of family members were targeted in a shooting in 2021 in which a gunman fired through the window of a Royal Pizza in south Edmonton.
The man charged in the case later had those charges dropped because there was no longer a reasonable likelihood of conviction.
Edmonton police proved Uppal was a high-ranking figure at the scene of organized crime in Edmonton, but declined to say whether he was affiliated with ex-prisoner groups.
They also declined to say whether police believed the shooting was retaliation for other acts of violence, or whether retaliation was expected for Uppal’s killing.
However, according to a Postmedia News source, Uppal was a prominent associate of the Brothers Keepers, while Chahil was connected to the UN gang.
“The standoff between BK and the UN is out of control,” says Postmedia.
Although they originated in the Vancouver area, those massacres are now happening across the country.
The Brothers Keepers, the United Nations, and the Red Scorpion-Kang Group are just a few of the efforts underway in British Columbia.
