The idyllic Whistler Mountain ski community was rocked on Sunday by the brazen daylight assassination of a notorious member of Canada’s Brothers Keepers Gang, and another man.
A pair of gunmen fatally shot Meninder Dhaliwal, 29, whose family operates a $16 million a year drug and arms trafficking group, and his friend Satindera Gill, who apparently has no crime affiliation, outside the Sundial Hotel just after noon.
Video of the gruesome aftermath shows Dhaliwal, wearing a white T-shirt and shorts and an over the shoulder satchel, face down in the hotel parking lot, in a pool of blood.

Satindera Gill, a friend of the Dhaliwal who was not involved in organized crime, was also fatally shot
Gill is seen splayed out on the other side of a parked white BMW where a bystander appears to be trying to aid him, the video shows.
Dhaliwal died at the scene and Gill was rushed to an area hospital where he succumbed to his gunshot wounds.
The community around Whistler Mountain, home of the 2010 Winter Olympics, was temporarily locked down by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as two dozen law enforcement agencies rushed to the scene to investigate.
Two men were arrested late Sunday by the RCMP Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, police said. They were not identified, but police said that the double murder was part of a protracted Lower Mainland gang conflict between Brothers Keeper and another crime group called United Nations.

A car set on fire in the 3300-block of Ptarmigan Place was related to the murders, but police did not explain further.
‘As a result of the dynamic response and rapid evidence collection by officers, Sea-to-Sky RCMP were able to locate and apprehend multiple individuals,’ Sgt. Timothy Pierotti told the Vancouver Sun.
Businesses and residents locked their doors and were told to remain there until police gave the all-clear sign.

Located in the spectacular Coast Mountains of British Columbia just two hours north of Vancouver, Whistler is Canada’s favorite year-round destination.

The Village has 200 shops, boutiques, galleries, jewelers, garment and gear specialists to keep visitors busy. Expect big names like Patagonia and Helly Hansen, and local favorites like Armchair Books

Incomparable views that stretch to the Pacific Ocean, plenty of terrain for all skill levels, and a charming full-service resort village right at the base make it an equally good choice for families and casual skiers.

The three-kilometer-plus Peak to Peak gondola joins the two mountaintops of Whistler and Blackcomb and is the world’s longest unsupported lift span. It takes 22 minutes for a round-trip and offers stunning 360-degree views of Whistler Village, mountain peaks, lakes, glaciers and forests
Scott Cargo was doing some Sunday window shopping in the area when he heard the shots.
‘I was out here just simply checking at some bikes… and I heard gunshots,’ he told Fox 3 News. ‘Then, a little kid from [Mountainside Lodge] came running down, came tearing down here, and said there was a shooting down there.’
Cargo said he immediately told the store employees to take precautions.
‘I locked the doors, kept everyone in the store, and instructed everyone to stay away from the window,’ he told the news station.
Other video shows mountain bikers, who used the ski resort’s steep slopes to ride on in the summer months, being kept out of the main strip of the quaint alpine town as police hunted for the suspects.
‘Brazen, for sure. Dangerous, for sure,’ RMPC Inspector Robert Dykstra told Global News. ‘Anybody else could have been hurt in that [shooting]’
This kind of gunplay is rare in the resort area.
‘Whistler is a very safe community. A lot of visitors come here every year. Violent crime is something that we don’t see very much in Whistler, so it’s shocking to see this happening in such a public area in our community. Obviously we’re concerned and we’ll be investigating this,’ Dykstra said.
Dhaliwal was a known member of the Brothers Keepers and the violent Dhaliwal crime family, which Canadian police say traffics in guns, drugs, extortion, kidnapping, murder and car thefts.
Indo-Canadian crime rings are the third largest gang organizations in Canada, behind biker gangs and Vietnamese triads, according to police.
A French Canadian gunman was charged with murdering Meninder’s brother Harb Dhaliwal in April 2021. Meninder chased the suspect, Francois Joseph Gaultier, 51, for several blocks before catching up with him and stabbing him in the eye, according to the Vancouver Sun. He was never charged.
In May, the Organized Crime Agency of British Columbia issued a public warning about 11 men, including Meninder Dhaliwal, who they said posed a ‘significant risk to public safety.’
‘Police agencies throughout the Lower Mainland are aware of several conflicts involving numerous crime groups that have resulted in murders and attempted murders in recent weeks in public places. Police are expecting the violence to continue and escalate,’ according to the announcement.
‘Police believe that anyone with, or in the proximity to these individuals may be putting themselves at risk,’ the Canadian cops said.
