Police arrested her husband, 40-year-old Navinder Gill, at the scene, but he was released the next day as investigators continued to collect evidence.
“IHIT continues to gather evidence and we’re working to meet the charge approval threshold,” Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) Sgt. Timothy Pierotti said at the time.

“I know a situation like this where there’s alleged domestic violence can certainly hit a community, so we wanted to give as much information as we can as soon as we possibly could.”
IHIT said that Gill was re-arrested on Thursday and charged on Friday. He is due back in court on Jan 9, 2023.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe campaign has been launched for the murdered mother of three’s family, which by Friday had raised nearly $6,000.
