Dhaliwal died on the spot, while Gill perished from his wounds at the neighborhood hospital. Soon after the midday shooting, gruesome video of Dhaliwal and Gill laying face down in bloody puddles spread online.

Brothers Keeper’s Member Meninder Dhaliwal Shot To Death At BC Whistler
On Sunday afternoon, Meninder Dhaliwal, a member of the Brothers Keepers gang, was fatally shot and killed in the area of Skier’s Plaza. The incident occurred close to Whistler Mountain’s base, behind the Sundial and Pan Pacific hotels.
According to a press release from Sea to Sky RCMP, officers were called to a nearby hotel at around 12:29 p.m. after receiving reports of the shooting.
Officials did not disclose any additional information, only that the probe is in its early stages and that IHIT and other units are assisting local detectives.
Scott Cargo, a worker at the close-by Fanatyk Co. Ski and Cycle, claimed to have heard gunshots around midday while standing in front of the shop. “It was like ten rounds fired quickly,” as the man said that he had heard gunshots before, having lived in Kelowna for 30 years.
Meninder Dhaliwal Brother Harpreet Was Also Killed In A Similar Way Last Year
On 17 April 2021, Harpreet, Dhaliwal’s older brother, was shot and killed at Coal Harbour.
According to Sgt. Steve Addison of the Vancouver PD, the crime is speculated to be a planned murder, and Harpreet was the intended victim.
Meninder followed the hitman for two blocks before stabbing him in the eye, but he was never held accountable for the attack.
Francois Gauthier, the alleged hitman, entered a plea guilty to second-degree murder last month and was given a life sentence with no chance of parole for 20 years.
Over the past few years, the United Nations gang and certain Red Scorpions have been engaged in a violent war with the Brother’s Keepers.
One group’s members and associates are frequently killed; then, days or weeks later, someone will strike back.
