A California man who claimed that federal immigration agents had taken his wife from their home is now facing a murder charge after investigators discovered her burned remains in a neighboring county.
And the agency he pointed the finger at, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), had nothing to do with her disappearance, according to investigators.
Gurinder Singh Gill, 28, was arrested on October 14 in connection with the death of his wife, 30-year-old Jasmine Gill, after Sacramento County Sheriff’s detectives uncovered major inconsistencies in his account, Local 12 reported.
According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, Gurinder initially told detectives that ICE agents had taken Jasmine into custody while she was checking the mail outside their Sacramento residence.
There was just one major problem with his story.
ICE confirmed that no immigration enforcement activity had taken place at the residence.
The allegation that federal immigration agents were responsible for Jasmine’s disappearance began to unravel as detectives investigated her whereabouts.
And what authorities ultimately uncovered was far more disturbing than the husband’s original claim.
Jasmine Gill was last seen at her Sacramento residence on September 30, 2026.
Four days later, on October 4, her cousin reported her missing to authorities.
As detectives investigated, they questioned Gurinder about his wife’s whereabouts. He maintained that ICE agents had detained her outside their home.
But investigators contacted the federal agency directly, and ICE denied conducting any enforcement operation at the property.
According to the sheriff’s office, detectives subsequently discovered multiple inconsistencies in Gurinder’s statements.
Investigators also learned that the couple was involved in an ongoing divorce and child custody dispute.
Meanwhile, authorities in neighboring El Dorado County had made a horrifying discovery.
On October 1, just one day after Jasmine was last seen alive, burned human remains were discovered in the county.
The remains were subsequently identified as Jasmine Gill.
With the evidence mounting, homicide detectives obtained a warrant for Gurinder’s arrest on suspicion of murder.
