The man accused of the targeted fatal shooting of Navneet Kaur last Friday morning had been ordered by the court to have no contact with Kaur.
Sharnjeet Singh, 37, of Brampton was arrested by the OPP on Friday and charged with the first-degree murder of Kaur and failing to comply with an undertaking.
Kaur was fatally wounded after a man walked up to her on Humberwood Boulevard near Rexdale Boulevard around 7:20 a.m. on July 24 and fired a single shot before fleeing. The 26-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
Court documents obtained by Global News find it’s an alleged case of intimate partner violence, though it’s unclear whether the two were ever married.
On July 17, 2025, Singh was charged with criminal harassment and assault in relation to Kaur and was released from custody on an undertaking the following day with a condition he have no contact with Kaur.
Singh promised he would not have any contact with Kaur either directly or indirectly, nor go any place she was known to be, work or attend.
