Two men have been charged with first-degree murder in the targeted killing of Ripudaman Singh Malik, who was acquitted in the 1985 Air India bombings and shot dead on July 14 in Surrey, B.C.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said in a news release Wednesday the charges have been laid against Tanner Fox, 21, and Jose Lopez, 23.

Malik, 75, was shot several times on the morning of July 14 outside his family business, Papillon Eastern Imports, on 128 Street in Surrey.

In an update Wednesday afternoon, IHIT said the two suspects were arrested in their homes without incident.

Supt. Mandeep Mooker said the homicide squad worked with Surrey RCMP, the Integrated Forensic Identification Section and the B.C. Coroners Service to gather the evidence that led to the arrests.

He said the investigation was also supported by police departments in New Westminster and Abbotsford and the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team.

With the matter now before the courts, he said IHIT would not be providing any further details.
Court documents show the two accused had previous criminal records.

Lopez was found guilty of assault causing bodily harm for a 2018 incident in Abbotsford.

He was charged with seven firearms offences, plus wilfully resisting an officer and uttering threats for an incident in July
2021 in Kelowna.

Fox's convictions include assault causing bodily harm and robbery for separate incidents in 2019 in Abbotsford.

He's also accused of wilfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer in December 2021.
ox is scheduled to appear in court in September on an assault charge for an alleged April 8 offence in New Westminster.

The BC Prosecution Service says Fox and Lopez appeared in Surrey provincial court Wednesday, and the matter was adjourned until Aug. 10, when a bail hearing is scheduled.

Malik acquitted in 2005
Malik and co-accused Ajaib Singh Bagri were acquitted in 2005 of mass murder and conspiracy charges related to a pair of bombings targeting Air India flights that killed 331 people, mainly from the Toronto and Vancouver areas.

In recent years, Malik served as chairman of Khalsa School and managed two of the private schools' campuses in Surrey and Vancouver. He was also president of the Surrey-based Khalsa Credit Union, which has more than 16,000 members.
