IHIT Extradition: Surrey Murder Suspect Returned to Canada
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has brought a second homicide suspect back to Canada from the United States to face charges in connection with a 2024 killing in Surrey, British Columbia. The man, 22-year-old Aman (also known as Aman Aman or Aman Ramesh), is now in custody and scheduled to appear in court on May 11, 2026.
This development is part of an ongoing investigation into a deadly incident that occurred at a residence in the 14700 block of 108A Avenue, Surrey in December 2024. IHIT investigators, working with multiple policing and forensic partners, previously secured charges against another suspect, 21-year-old Gurtaj Singh, for second-degree murder and attempted murder. The case remains before the courts.

CrimeCanada.ca Community Safety Perspective
From the perspective of CrimeCanada.ca, this extradition and prosecution effort highlights how seriously homicide and attempted murder investigations are treated in British Columbia. Coordinated work between IHIT, Surrey RCMP, SPS, forensics teams, and U.S. partners aims to ensure that individuals accused of grave violence cannot evade accountability by crossing borders. For residents in Surrey and other communities, it underlines the importance of reporting violent incidents quickly and cooperating with investigators when called upon.
While this particular file is now before the courts and not seeking active public assistance, staying informed about high-harm incidents in your region is an important part of community safety. Tools like CrimeCanada.ca’s interactive crime map and local profiles (for example, the Hesquiat 1, British Columbia crime and safety statistics) help residents understand where serious crimes are occurring and how trends change over time. We encourage British Columbians to remain alert, look out for neighbours, and promptly contact police if they witness or experience violence or threats. Strong community awareness, combined with thorough police work, is key to reducing serious crime and supporting victims and their families.
