Harb Dhaliwal was a member of the Brothers Keepers gang who was shot to death in Coal Harbour on April 17 last year.
His brother, Meninder Dhaliwal, was also gunned down in Whistler yesterday. Authorities believe these killings are the result of lower mainland gang conflict.
Who Was Harb Dhaliwal?
Harb was the middle child among three brothers of his family who collectively used to run the Brothers Keepers gang. Over the past ten years, shootings in the Lower Mainland have targeted Dhaliwal and his criminal brothers, Barinder, the oldest, and Meninder, the youngest.
Before his death, Harb was shot twice: once in Abbotsford in October 2017 and once in Richmond in December 2018.
The 31-year-old was with his two brothers and several friends when he was shot on the popular waterfront area. As his brother was dead on the sidewalk, a devastated Barinder yelled out Harb’s name. It took six police officers to restrain him.
The Dhaliwal family has a farm near the border in Abbotsford, where they were raised. They didn’t always belong to the BK that supported the Hells Angels.
Death In Whistler Village Shooting And Brothers Keepers Gang Member
Meninder Dhaliwal and his associate were killed in the most recent incidence of a gang war in Canada between two gangs. Police stated that Satinder Gill was another victim who lost his life following the gun violence in Whistler during broad daylight on Sunday afternoon.
Meninder Dhaliwal was with Satinder Gill when they were shot outside the Sundial Hotel in Whistler, a Canadian town adjacent to Vancouver. According to the Canadian Police, Gill was not a gang member.
Dhaliwal passed away there and then, while Gill was pronounced dead at the neighborhood hospital. On Sunday, the lockdown was imposed at the well-known Whistler ski resort south of Vancouver, Canada, to avoid further risks after the shooting.

A special investigation team, Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), is working continuously to uncover the people involved in the homicide. According to IHIT, it is thought that this was a targeted shooting connected to the ongoing Lower Mainland Gang Conflict.
The Sea-to-Sky Whistler RCMP responded to many complaints about two men being shot at the Sundial Boutique Hotel in Whistler’s 4300-block of Sundial Crescent on July 24 at around noon.
What Happened To The Dhaliwal Brothers?
When Harb was assassinated in April 2021 outside a fancy Coal Harbour restaurant in Vancouver, Meninder was there with his brothers Barinder and Harb. Meninder chased the hitman for two blocks before stabbing him in the eye, although no charges were ever brought against him 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. In November 2020, Meninder was allegedly caught with a gun close to the Hardside Hells Angels chapter’s clubhouse in Surrey but was never charged.
Viral Video Of Homocide On Twitter
Soon after the midday shooting, gruesome video of Dhaliwal and Gill laying face down in bloody puddles spread online. Images of a vehicle being stopped by police close to Whistler were also circulated.
Investigators are searching for dashcam footage and eyewitnesses close to the crime scene. Any associates of Mr. Gill or Mr. Dhaliwal are requested to come forward by the investigators to find the missing pieces of this homicide.
Initially, the local RCMP reported that only two individuals had been detained. However, beyond a few, the police could not comment on the precise number of arrests.
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, and then days or weeks later, someone will strike back.
