On April 17, 2025, at approximately 7:30 pm, Harsimrat Randhawa was fatally struck by a stray bullet while waiting at a bus stop near the intersection of Upper James Street and South Bend Road. Harsimrat had just left a local gym and was travelling home when she was caught in the crossfire of a violent altercation involving multiple vehicles.
The investigation revealed that a dispute occurred between the occupants of several motor vehicles in the area, during which multiple gunshots were fired. Harsimrat, who was not involved in the altercation, was tragically killed by a single bullet.
