Alberta RCMP urges public assistance in recent homicide investigation involving man from California
WATCH: The Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit is seeking public information about a recent homicide involving 24-year-old Jaiteg Singh Waraich who may have been living in the San Francisco Bay Area under a different name since 2022. – Jul 3, 2023

The Airdrie Rural RCMP detachment is asking for help from the public as investigators attempt to piece together the final days of Jaiteg Singh Waraich, who may have used a fake name during his brief time in Canada.

Waraich, a 24-year-old man who had lived in the San Francisco Bay area in the fall of 2022, was found dead in a rural area in Rocky View County — near the intersection of Range Road 284 and Township Road 264 — on the morning of June 9.

An autopsy confirmed Waraich had been killed, but the nature of his death has not been divulged.

Investigators have not determined what brought Waraich to Canada but have been in contact with members of his family and have secured photos of him.

It’s believed Waraich may have used a pseudonym and police are looking to confirm what other names he may have gone by.
