The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation by US authorities as they work to ascertain the identities of those involved and determine the motive behind the tragic incident.
The Fresno police department has now responded to the reports, saying that they are “untrue.” According to media reports, in response to a query, Lieutenant William J. Dooley said, “If you are inquiring because of the online chatter claiming that the shooting victim is ‘Goldy Brar’, we can confirm that this is absolutely not true.”
Blowing off the reports as “misinformation,” the lieutenant said that the police department is receiving inquiries from around the world.”We have received inquiries from around the world this morning as a result of misinformation being spread on social media and online news agencies. We are not sure who started this rumor, but it caught on and spread like wildfire. But again, it isn’t true. The victim is definitely not Goldy,” he added.
According to media reports, the man killed in the incident has now been identified as 37-year-old Xavier Galdney.
Satinderjit Singh alias Goldy Brar is a wanted criminal and was named a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
A Red Corner Notice was issued against him by Interpol and there is a non-bailable warrant already issued against him as well.
Believed to be a key member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Goldy Brar came into the spotlight after he claimed responsibility for Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder through a Facebook post.
Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead in his car near his village in Punjab’s Mansa district on May 29, 2022.
