Harshandeep Singh was gunned down early Friday morning in an apartment block on 107 Avenue .

Evan Rain and Judith Saulteaux were arrested over the weekend and charged with first -degree murder.

Outrage grew after leaked surveillance video purporting to show the killing was posted online.

Singh had been on the job for just three days .

Singh is at least the second security guard to die on duty in Edmonton this year .

LaForge urged the Alberta government to overhaul its security industry legislation.

He stressed that even a police officer, with their training and weapons, would have been in grave danger.

Singh ’s death follows that of another young Sikh man killed while working in central Edmonton .
