Sacramento nurse's husband charged with murder after false ICE story

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 15:20 · Archive

The husband of a Sacramento nurse has been arrested on murder charges after falsely claiming immigration authorities had taken her into custody.

Jasmine Gill, a 30-year-old nurse and mother of an 8-month-old child, was reported missing by her cousin on 4 October after last being seen at her Sacramento home on 30 September. Her husband, Gurinder Gill, told police that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had arrested her while she was checking the mail at their residence.

Detectives quickly identified inconsistencies in Gurinder's account. When they contacted ICE to verify his claim, the agency confirmed that no enforcement activity had occurred at the residence. The investigation revealed that the couple were involved in an ongoing divorce and child custody battle.

On 1 October, investigators discovered burned and buried human remains approximately 70 miles away in neighbouring El Dorado County. Authorities later confirmed the remains belonged to Jasmine. Following the discovery, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Gurinder Gill on murder charges. He was arrested on 14 October and is being held without bail at Sacramento County Main Jail.

Jasmine was an India-born registered nurse who had followed in her mother's footsteps. Her family launched a GoFundMe campaign to support her 8-month-old son and cover legal costs related to returning her remains to India.
