Washington, DC – The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) arrested Harjinder Singh in Stockton, California, on three counts of Vehicle Homicide, August 16.
Singh, 28, was wanted by the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) for allegedly operating a semi-truck that attempted to make a U-Turn and crossed directly in front of a vehicle, causing the vehicle to crash into the trailer and killing three people in the vehicle. The crash happened on Florida’s turnpike in St. Lucie County August 12, 2025.
An investigation revealed Singh and his passenger, Harneet Singh, flew to Sacramento, California, August 13. An arrest warrant was issued August 15. He allegedly entered the United States illegally in 2018 and obtained a California Commercial Driver’s License.
U.S. Marshals received the warrant and associated information from FHP August 16 and collateral lead was sent to the Eastern District of California. U.S. Marshals and Task Force Officers responded to an address associated with Singh in Stockton. They identified Singh as the lone occupant of a vehicle that arrived during surveillance of the location.
Singh was taken into custody without incident. He was booked at the San Joaquin County Jail to await initial appearance. An immigration detainer was also filed on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Our great Director of the U.S. Marshal Service, Gadyaces Serralta, has worked incredibly hard to support the Florida Highway Patrol and apprehend this dangerous illegal alien who will now face justice,” said U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Sanctuary states like California must end their lawless policies to protect innocent American lives.”
“This priority effort was a cross country, multi-state and multi-agency success”, said USMS Director Gadyaces S. Serralta. “This again proves our dedication to bring criminals to justice for what they have done no matter where they run.”
