Kevin LeClair two gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons, shattering the driver's side window and leaving LeClair critically wounded


Kevin LeClair was gunned down in his truck in Langley, he was stopped by police in the same vehicle in Port Moody in the company of Jonathan Bacon.Bacon and LeClair, who died Sunday, were seen driving away from Bacon's apartment in the 600-block of Nootka Way, heading for popular Newport Village when they were pulled over. They told police they were on their way to the shopping area to get a coffee, apparently nonchalant about the threats facing them."On Thursday, Feb. 5, members of the Port Moody Police Department were in the area of Jonathan Bacon's residence," Insp. Andy Richards confirmed Sunday. "At approximately 12:15 p.m., Bacon was seen exiting his residence and getting into Kevin LeClair's late model Lincoln pickup truck.
The two were stopped and checked by PMPD members a short distance away and they advised they were heading to Starbucks. They were in the same vehicle in which LeClair was murdered the next day in Langley."Just two days before the LeClair-Bacon sighting, Port Moody Police issued an extraordinary public warning that Bacon -- the eldest of three gangster brothers targeted for death -- had moved to town and residents should be aware.It was the third police warning in Metro Vancouver since last May, when the B.C. Integrated Gang Task Force said the public could be at risk because of the serious nature of the threats against the Bacon brothers and friends, who are linked to the Red Scorpion gang.LeClair, a 26-year-old Surrey resident, pulled into the Thunderbird Mall parking lot just after 4 p.m. Friday. Some witnesses said he was being chased by another vehicle. Right in front of a crowded IGA Marketplace, two gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons, shattering the driver's side window and leaving LeClair critically wounded.RCMP Cpl. Dale Carr said Sunday that the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is now in charge of the LeClair probe and is appealing to the public for information."Police have learned that two suspects were seen fleeing the area. They were last seen heading north through the parking lot of the shopping centre toward Colossus Theatre," Carr said. "It is believed that the suspects entered a vehicle to leave the area, and in doing so left the area in an erratic manner thereby drawing attention to themselves."

Timothy “Fuzzy” Timms, a 45-year-old member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle club, stood up Monday for his First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Timms, a resident of the San Diego community of South Park, refused to take off a black leather vest with the motorcycle club's “death's head” insignia when he reported for jury duty. He's a big burly man, 5 feet 8 inches, 250 pounds, with a full beard and auburn-colored, shoulder-length hair. At 7:45 a.m., Timms' stance got him booted from the San Diego Superior Court's Hall of Justice by sheriff's deputies, along with another Hells Angel who also refused to remove his insignia vest. Nine hours later, representatives of both the Superior Court and the sheriff's department apologized to Timms and club member Mick Rush for “misunderstanding” an order issued April 24 by Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser. Rush also had been reporting for jury duty. “It all boils down to a misunderstanding of Judge Fraser'

LaAunzae was a Vice Lord, and Donald Ragland was a Gangster Disciple

2005 execution-style murder in Frayser was a case marked by "gangs, guns and death." And not incidentally, they added, there was an element of revenge when defendant Donald Ragland Jr. shot 26-year-old LaAunzae Grady three times in the back on a cold December afternoon outside of St. Elmo's Market."He didn't have a problem taking this job, because LaAunzae had killed his brother five or six years before this," gang unit prosecutor Ray Lepone told a Criminal Court jury. "LaAunzae was a Vice Lord, and Donald Ragland was a Gangster Disciple."Asst. Public Defender Trent Hall said prosecutors would not be able to prove their case and asked jurors to acquit Ragland, 27, of first-degree murder.On Wednesday, jurors watched a surveillance video from the store that showed an apparently nervous Grady looking out the front door of the store several times before finally leaving.A half-dozen loud gunshots then quickly follow, though the shooting on the outside p
