An arrest has been made in the shooting death of a Mohawk College student who was caught in the crossfire of a “violent altercation” between two groups in Hamilton.
Police reported that on April 17, at around 7:30 p.m., Harsimrat Randhawa, a 21-year-old international student from India, was fatally struck by a stray bullet while waiting for a bus near the intersection of Upper James Street and South Bend Road.
According to police, the victim, who was not involved in the dispute, had just left a local gym and was heading home when she was hit by a single bullet during an exchange of gunfire.
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, police said that a dispute had broken out in the area shortly before the shots were fired.
Police announced that on August 5, 32-year-old Jerdaine Foster was arrested in Niagara Falls in connection with the fatal shooting. He faces charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder.
Investigators believe at least seven people were involved in the altercation that led to the death, and they are still working to identify the other suspects who were present that day.
