Questions of retaliation
Derksen said Uppal was a higher-level figure in Edmonton’s organized crime scene, but declined to say if he was affiliated with any specific groups. He also declined to say whether police believe the shooting was retaliation for other violence, or whether retaliation for Uppal’s killing is expected.
Sources have told Postmedia Uppal was a prominent Brothers Keepers associate.
His murder is believed to be part of a war between the UN gang and the BK. One source said, “The BK and UN conflict is out of control.”
While originating in the Vancouver area, the tit-for-tat slayings are now happening across the country. The day before Uppal was killed, B.C. UN gangster Parmvir Chahil was shot to death in Toronto. Sources say the killings may be linked.
