In Sacramento, a man was arrested on Wednesday, October 15, 2026, on suspicion of murder. This arrest followed the discovery of the burned remains of his missing wife in neighboring El Dorado County. The suspect is currently being held without bail in the Sacramento County Main Jail.
The victim, Jasmine Gill, was last seen at her Sacramento residence on September 30, 2026. Her cousin reported her missing on October 4, 2026. During the initial missing-persons investigation, the suspect, Gurinder Gill, informed authorities that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had apprehended his wife.
Detectives investigating the disappearance uncovered several inconsistencies in Gurinder Gill's statements. They also learned that the couple was undergoing a contentious divorce and child-custody battle. On October 1, 2026, burned human remains were found in El Dorado County. These remains were later identified as Jasmine Gill.
Following the identification and the discovery of further evidence, Sacramento County homicide detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Gurinder Gill, charging him with murder. His arrest on Wednesday marks a significant development in the case.
