Fatal shooting in Vancouver

CTV is reporting that "One person is dead and three people were taken to hospital after what police believe was a targeted shooting in South Vancouver Friday night. The Vancouver Police Department said it was called to East 63rd Avenue and Inverness Street just before 9 p.m. 'for reports of two men shot in a vehicle, which then collided with two other vehicles.' Images from the crash scene at Fraser Street and Southeast Marine Drive show multiple vehicles behind police tape and a tarp covering what appears to be a body on the ground."

"The VPD said in a statement Saturday that one man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, while a second, identified as 25-year-old Hitkaran Johal, died at the scene."

CBC is reporting that "Police say a burned-out car was found a few blocks west of the shooting, at East 63rd Avenue and Prince Edward Street." In 2018 City News reported that "Hitkaran Johal, 19, has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit arson." One of his co accused in that bust was shot dead in 2022.

    1. I assume so. When you say gangs you must mean drug dealers that sell drugs for the Hells Angels. We don't have gangs in Canada per say. We just have drug trafficking organizations. South Van, East Van, Surrey. South Van used to have rivals.
