A retired gang unit detective says Friday's fatal shooting of a prominent gang leader in a community outside Calgary will likely not be the last act of violence exchanged between the rival gangs. yyc CTVBMacfarlane
Doug Spencer, who worked in the gang unit of the Vancouver Police Department, tells CTV News that the shooting death of gang member Trong Minh Nguyen will likely be followed by retribution.He adds that even the highest ranking gang members can never really stop looking over their shoulders.
Surveillance video posted online showed a deadly and disciplined ambush. RCMP confirm the video is authentic. A woman riding in the passenger seat of Nguyen's vehicle Friday was also hurt in the shooting attack and airlifted to hospital but has since posted online that she is recovering. CTV News has reached out to the woman but has not received a response.
"You're going to get all the police resources that are available thrown at you," he says. "So these little gangsters have got to realize that they can go out and sell their drugs and do their little gangster stuff. But when you bring the public into the crosshairs of a rifle, you're going to have the police's interest."
