21-year-old arrested for deadly stabbing of Sikh man in Tracy, police say

Tracy Police say they have arrested Anthony Kreiter-Rhoads, 21 of Tracy, for the homicide of Parmjit Singh.

TRACY, Calif. — After nearly a week, Tracy police have made an arrest in a deadly stabbing that claimed the life of a 64-year-old Sikh grandfather.

Police arrested Anthony Kreiter-Rhoads, a 21-year-old from Tracy, on a homicide charge for the death of Parmjit Singh.

Singh was a 64-year-old grandfather who was attacked and left for dead while on a Sunday evening walk. His death devastated family members and members of the Sikh community. 

His vigil brought hundreds of Tracy community members out in solidarity as people remembered him as a kind man and as a "ray of sunshine." Through donations, neighbors and family were able to gather enough money to offer a $20,000 reward to aid the homicide investigation.
