Police said officers responded to reports of a shooting at around 7:23 am and found Kaur with a gunshot wound. Despite life-saving efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to investigators, the victim and the suspect had a brief interaction before the man allegedly shot her and fled the scene before the arrival of police. He was later traced and arrested.

Singh has been charged with first-degree murder and failure to comply with an undertaking.

Investigators said they believe the incident was targeted and that there are no outstanding suspects. The homicide unit is probing the case.

According to a CBC News report, a witness told police that Kaur was walking along Humberwood Boulevard when a man approached her, briefly spoke to her and then shot her once before fleeing on foot. The witness immediately called emergency services after seeing the woman collapse.

The incident comes days after another woman was killed by her partner, both Indian-origin, in Edmonton, the capital of Alberta province, earlier this month.

Last week, 22-year-old Ritish Kumar was arrested and charged with second-degree murder for allegedly strangling to death his 23-year-old partner, Damanpreet Kaur, in what police described as an intimate partner homicide.
