Three people who remain at large have been indicted in connection with the February kidnapping and killing of a Tracy man who investigators determined was not the intended target, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office said.

Avtar Singh, 57, was kidnapped Feb. 17 from the Gurdwara Gur Nanak Parkash in Tracy. Surveillance video showed a white SUV and three people dressed in dark clothing apparently forcing Singh into the vehicle.

Singh’s body was found days later in a remote area near Lake Berryessa. The Napa County Sheriff’s Office located his body on Feb. 20.

Singh was survived by his wife and 6-month-old triplets. Investigators later determined that he was not the intended target, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Wednesday.
