Murder Charge Following False ICE Claim
Gurinder Gill of Sacramento County has been charged with murder in the death of his wife, Jasmine Gill, a 30-year-old registered nurse originally from India. During the initial investigation, Gill told detectives that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had taken Jasmine into custody while she was checking the mail outside their home. ICE officials confirmed no enforcement action occurred at the residence, prompting investigators to question Gill’s account.
Investigation and Discovery of Remains
Jasmine Gill was last seen on September 30 at her Sacramento home. Her cousin reported her missing on October 4. In early October, detectives discovered burned human remains in neighboring El Dorado County. Jewelry recovered from the remains allowed the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office to identify the remains as those of Jasmine Gill. The same investigation uncovered inconsistencies in Gill’s statements and revealed that the couple was in the midst of a divorce and child-custody dispute. Gill was taken into custody in mid-October and is being held without bail at the Sacramento County Main Jail.
Background: Divorce and Custody Dispute
Court filings indicate that Jasmine and Gurinder Gill were undergoing a divorce and were contesting custody of their 8-month-old son. The family’s GoFundMe campaign notes Jasmine’s efforts to secure a fresh start for herself and her infant son before her death.
Official Statements & Responses
Sgt. The family released a statement describing Jasmine’s mother’s sacrifices as a full-time nurse in India and expressing grief over the loss of the future Jasmine was trying to build for her child.
