Police say the suspect fled before officers arrived. Following the investigation, officials say officers with the Ontario Provincial Police were the ones who located and arrested the suspect.<\/p>\n

Sharnjeet Singh, 37, of Brampton, has been charged with first-degree murder and failing to comply with an undertaking.<\/p>\n

He was scheduled to appear in court Saturday morning at the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day on Friday, Duty Insp. Scott Bradbury noted investigators believed the woman had been specifically \u201ctargeted\u201d and that there was no ongoing risk to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel that this is a localized issue, meaning that this woman was targeted, and that there\u2019s no extra risk to the neighbors,\u201d Bradbury said at the time.<\/p>\n

A witness who was drinking coffee nearby told CP24 he saw a man approach the woman and speak with her briefly before opening fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw a guy talking to her a little bit like for 30 seconds\u2026 then he shot the girl, and he walked away to the southbound of (Hwy.) 427, that\u2019s what I saw,” he said.<\/p>\n

The witness said the shooting has shaken his sense of safety in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve lived here for about six, seven years\u2026 I think it was really safe here, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s safe now,” he said.<\/p>\n

In the release, officials say Kaur\u2019s death marks Toronto\u2019s 22nd homicide of 2026.<\/p>\n
