Drug enforcer sentenced for executing bystander

CTV is reporting that "A B.C. man convicted of the intentional and ruthless killing of a bystander while acting as an enforcer in the drug trade has been sentenced for a second time in the slaying. Hugh Alexander McIntosh will serve 17 years in prison for second-degree murder before he is eligible for parole, the judge ruled, noting that the Nov. 22 sentencing(opens in a new tab) came after the successful appeal of a first-degree murder conviction earlier this year."

He was an enforcer in the drug trade and executed a bystander. Wow. "In 2019, the court heard, McIntosh and an associate went to the Kamloops home of a drug dealer – a woman identified as K.C. in the decision – who had recently been robbed of $20,000. While there, during a conflict with K.C. over the missing money, McIntosh killed K.C.'s housemate J.G. execution style, shooting him once in the back of the head, the court heard."

"McIntosh also shot K.C. five times, hitting her twice in the head, causing injuries that required a "large portion of her skull" to be removed. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for her attempted murder."

This is a copy of the decision. We don't have to guess who he was an enforcer for. The associate was Gordon Wayne Braaten. He was a Kamloops drug dealer sentenced to 7 years for the execution.
