A warrant is out for a Brampton man, whom Peel police investigators alleged is part of a group which carried out an attack in the city early last Saturday.

On April 16 at about 12:45 a.m., the two victims were at a business in the area of Bramtree Court and Chrysler Drive in Brampton. They were attacked by a group of four men who were armed with weapons ranging from sticks to bats. After causing injury to the victims, all of the suspects fled the area in a white, 2015 Volkswagen Jetta with Ontario licence plate CFEB 295.

One of the victims suffered life-altering injuries. The second victim has non-life-threatening injuries.

Two of the suspects have been identified by investigators, and a warrant for their arrests has been issued.

Manjot Singh, 25, of Brampton (left photo above), is wanted for the following offences:

  • Attempted murder
  • Assault with a weapon
  • Assault causing bodily harm

Gurkirat Singh, a 24-year-old man from Markham, is wanted for the same three alleged offences.

Peel Regional Police say they have not identified the other two suspects. A media release affirmed that the suspects have the right to retain legal counsel in advance of turning themselves into the police.

“Investigators are working diligently to obtain their identity and bring them before the courts,” Peel police said on Monday night (April 18). “All of the involved suspects are encouraged to speak with legal counsel, and make arrangements to surrender to police.”

Anyone with information on this investigation, or information on the whereabouts of the suspects, is asked to call investigators at the 21 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau at 905-453–2121, extension 2133. Information may also be left anonymously by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at peelcrimestoppers.ca.
