57-year-old Sikh Man Kidnapped and Killed in United States

A 57-year-old Sikh man in the US was found dead days after he was kidnapped, with authorities saying he was not the "intended target" of the crime. 

Avtar Singh was reported missing on February 17 at approximately 8:52 pm in Tracy, California. During the investigation, surveillance footage showed a white SUV and three unidentified individuals dressed in dark clothing with Singh at approximately 2:30 pm.

enter the vehicle against his will, the authorities said.
