Jaspreet Singh Uppal, a 32-year-old Sikh man from Monroe, Ohio, died on May 21, 2018, from injuries sustained when he was shot on May 12, 2018. The shooting happened about 10:30 p.m. while he was sitting in his vehicle on Chestnut Avenue in Hamilton, Ohio. The shooter was identified as 20-year-old Broderick Malik Jones Roberts.

Roberts was initially indicted on aggravated robbery, felonious assault, and possessing weapons under disability. He was arraigned in Hamilton Municipal Court on a single charge of felonious assault with bond set at $125,000; a judge later raised bond to $1 million and Roberts remained in custody. After Singh’s death the Butler County prosecutor announced he would seek a murder charge and a murder indictment was expected; Roberts’ attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. The Sikh Coalition said there was no immediate evidence of bias and said it would monitor the case.

Singh was a devoted father and husband, a father of four young children, had lived in the United States about eight years, was active at the Guru Nanak Society, and recently worked as a truck driver. Does anyone have information about the night of May 12, 2018, or about Singh’s activities in Hamilton that evening?
