The US Police have denied reports that Goldy Brar, the gangster behind singer Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder, was killed in a shooting incident in California. Responding to the reports suggesting the death of the Canada-based gangster, the Fresno Police Department has said that the claims are “untrue”.

The police informed that one of the two men, who were reportedly shot in Fairmont and Holt Avenue in California’s Fresno on Wednesday after a fight, died in the hospital during treatment. Following the incident, several people on social media speculated that the person killed in the incident was Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar.

“If you are inquiring because of the online chatter claiming that the shooting victim is ‘Goldy Brar’, we can confirm that this is not true,” said Lieutenant William J Dooley in a statement in response to a query.

“We have received inquiries from around the world this morning as a result of misinformation being spread on social media and online news agencies. We are not sure who started this rumour, but it caught on and spread like wildfire. But again, it isn’t true. The victim is definitely not Goldy,” said Lieutenant William Dooley.

The man killed in the incident has been identified as 37-year-old Xavier Galdney by the Fresno Police Department.

Releasing a photo of the man killed in the incident on Instagram, the Fresno Police wrote, “On Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at 5:30 p.m., Fresno Police officers in the Northwest District responded to Fairmont Avenue and Holt Avenue for a ShotSpotter activation. Responding officers found 37-year-old Xavier Gladney suffering from a gunshot wound. Gladney was transported to CRMC,

but he was pronounced deceased.”
