Gang violence in Burnaby
The city has been hit by a rash of incidents linked to gangs in the past few weeks, sparking public safety concerns.
The victim was Jaskeert Kalkat, who was known to police and known to be affiliated with gang activity. IHIT said two other injured people – a man and a woman – who were shot at the same time in the brazen incident were also targeted.
And only a few days before, Toni Dalipi, 19, was fatally shot in Burnaby as he left a business on 6th Avenue. He was shot “multiple times,” and later succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
