IHIT – Satkar Sidhu – One Year Later After His Abbotsford Murder – No Arrests

Abbotsford -FEBRUARY 22, 2018 UPDATE –  It has been one year since the shooting death of  23 year old Satkar Sidhu.  On the morning of February 20, 2017 (@930AM), Sidhu was shot and killed in the 30500 block Steelhead Cresent in Abbotsford . His family is appealing for public’s help to ID those responsible for his murder.

The family’s statement:

We remember Satkar’s childhood as normal as any or our childhoods. He had the biggest dreams, the widest smile and the kindest heart. His presence would light up a room before he even walked in and his laughter would turn anyone’s day around. Satkar was the most driven and passionate young man there was; he poured his heart and soul into every step he took in life. He had almost completed his business degree and had so much life left to live.

Satkar did not have a criminal record. We never thought he would die under such horrible circumstances. There was a complete disregard to public safety as he was murdered during the early morning hours in a quiet residential area. It has been a full year since we lost him, yet we are still praying for answers and grieving without closure.

At this time, we would like to request for anyone who may have information about Satkar’s death to please contact the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. We would be eternally grateful if you are able to provide the police with any information. Please bear in mind no information is irrelevant and you may remain anonymous. We are making this appeal particularly to those who knew Satkar and may have valuable information, which can help the police solve his murder.

There are very few people who come into the world for an extremely short period of time, yet manage to leave behind the greatest impact – Satkar can be described as one of these people. The void of his presence will always remain, but we hope this public statement will help bring him, and our family, the justice he deserves.
Thank you.

-The family of Satkar Sidhu
