ROBERT Tomljenovic has been found guilty in the shooting death of Pritpal Singh which occurred in Surrey back in April 2020.

On April 7, 2020, at 12:43 a.m., the Surrey RCMP responded to reports of shots fired in the 8800-block of 138A Street. Police found 21-year-old Pritpal Singh suffering from a gunshot wound.

On April 13, 2020, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) with the assistance of the Surrey RCMP and the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team (ERT) arrested Tomljenovic for the murder of Pritpal Singh. The following day, Tomljenovic was charged by the BC Prosecution Service.
