2 men from B.C. charged with first-degree murder in Mississauga homicide
Two men from B.C. have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a homicide in Mississauga last month, Peel Regional Police say.
The incident happened on May 14, at about 11:49 a.m., in a parking lot near Tranmere Drive and Telford Way, which is north of Derry Road East between Bramalea and Dixie roads.
Police say 51-year-old Brampton resident Harjeet Dhadda was approached by a suspect and shot 'multiple times.' He later died of his injuries at a local hospital.
The suspects fled in a stolen 2018 Black Dodge Challenger, which Peel police said was recovered shortly after the shooting.
Following an 'intensive' investigation, the homicide bureau identified two suspects and tracked them to Delta, B.C.
On May 28, Peel police, with assistance of Delta Police Department, Abbotsford police, Surrey police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, located and arrested Aman Aman and Digvijay Digvijay, both 21 from Delta, B.C.
The accused appeared before a judge in Surrey, B.C., before being turned over to homicide detectives in Peel Region for transportation back to Ontario.
Aman and Digvijay have both been charged with first-degree murder, police said.
They attended a bail hearing on June 1 at a Brampton court.
Anyone with further information about this incident, including anyone who may have been in the area at the time and has video footage, are asked to contact Peel police's Homicide and Missing Persons Bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 3205, or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

Canada should refrain from any retaliatory measures: Sask. Premier Moe on U.S. tariffs hike
Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe speaks to media following the First Minister's Meeting in Saskatoon, Sask., Monday, June 2, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Liam Richards Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says U.S. President Donald Trump's new 35 per cent tariffs are disappointing and that Canada should refrain from any retaliatory measures that would cause harm to Canada's economy. However, he says that efforts remain in effect to ensure the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement (CUSMA) remains in effect. 'While Saskatchewan is disappointed in the Trump administration's decision to increase tariffs on non-CUSMA compliant Canadian goods to 35 per cent, Canada's efforts to ensure CUSMA remains in effect means that 95 per cent of Saskatchewan exports to the U.S. will remain tariff-free,' he said in a statement. Moe says CUSMA remaining in effect is very significant given the U.S. has imposed across-the-board tariffs on many countries. Trump signed an executive order activating tariffs against 68 countries and the European Union Thursday evening. New tariffs of 35 per cent on Canadian exports, effective Friday, exclude products under CUSMA, the White House has said. Moe says Canadian exports that remain tariff-free now have a competitive advantage relative to other countries facing tariffs on the same products. 'Our government will continue to engage with U.S. businesses and lawmakers to improve our trade relationship while continuing to expand our export markets to over 160 countries around the world that buy Saskatchewan products,' he said. He says Saskatchewan will also continue to press the federal government to adopt the 'Strong Saskatchewan, Strong Canada Plan' to approve economic infrastructure projects and eliminate regulations hindering economic development. Moe is expected to speak to reporters on Friday at 12 p.m., which can be livestreamed at the top of this article. -More to come…

Othello Tunnels reopened, but body of 19-year-old not yet found, RCMP say
Members of Hope Search and Rescue's swiftwater team wade into the waters at the Othello Tunnels to mount a rescue operation in 2024. (Facebook/Hope Search and Rescue) The Othello Tunnels area of Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park has reopened, but efforts to find the 19-year-old man believed to have drowned there over the weekend have so far been unsuccessful. Search and rescue efforts will resume Saturday, the RCMP's Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment RCMP said in a news release Friday. 'The pools of water where the man was last seen were thoroughly searched in hopes of locating him and providing a level of closure to his family,' said Staff Sgt. Mike Sargent, in the release. 'While he has not yet been found, search efforts remain active and ongoing.' Public access will be restricted in certain areas of the park to accommodate search efforts going forward. The missing man went into the water near the Othello Tunnels shortly after 6:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 26. Police have previously said a bystander was rescued by raft after becoming stranded while trying to locate the fallen man. The RCMP Underwater Recovery Team searched the area on July 30 but was unable to find the young man's body. The following day, Hope Search and Rescue continued searching from the shoreline and using drones to fly over the river.
