Kyle Richard Wong gangland slaying

Kyle Richard Wong was the ninth murder since the new violence suppression team was unveiled last fall.In November, police across the region joined forces to set up the 60-member VST.One month later, during a news conference to update their efforts, Sergeant Shinder Kirk said established gangs like the “Hells Angels”, the “UN” gang, the “Independent Soldiers” and “Red Scorpions” now have competition from smaller players.
"That’s the fluidity of groups we're dealing with. You have groups that are operating in this lifestyle that don't have a name and they do come together and break apart almost as quickly."Vancouver police have confirmed a gun was found near Wong’s body on Sunday morning and they're looking for the driver of a light-coloured import vehicle.

Prosecutor Noah Phillips laid out the case against three alleged members of an Oak Park gang implicated in at least one homicide, several shootings and a nightclub disturbance last summer that sent patrons running in fear from Cafe New Orleans in Old Sacramento.All three defendants were held to answer by Sacramento Superior Court Judge Allen H. Sumner after the preliminary hearing. Each faces lengthy prison time if found guilty. The case is one of 98 the Target Team has put together since January 2007. It has taken aim at 64 alleged gang members and 42 parolees.
