Homicide investigators in British Columbia have announced the arrest and charging of two individuals in connection with a gang-related killing that occurred inside a taxi in Langley last year.
Authorities revealed that Jared Douglas Polischuk, 35, and Luis Manuel Baez, 29, were taken into custody on Friday and have been jointly charged with conspiracy to commit murder. The charges relate to a shooting incident in September 2025, during which Taran Pandher, 24, was assaulted while being a passenger in a taxi. Tragically, Pandher succumbed to his injuries at the scene near 200 Street and 53 Avenue. Later that same evening, law enforcement responded to a vehicle fire in Surrey, believed to be connected to the earlier shooting.
The investigation is ongoing, with police suspecting the involvement of additional individuals in the targeted shooting, which has ties to the ongoing gang conflict in British Columbia.
Due to the case being sub judice, no further details are being disclosed by the authorities. A photograph shows law enforcement personnel at the location of the shooting near 200 Street and 53 Avenue.
