KELOWNA (NEWS1130) - News1130 has learned Jonathan Bacon was killed in a mass shooting that injured five others in Kelowna, according to inside sources.
Police said one man was killed in the shooting, but refused to confirm it was Bacon, a high-profile Lower Mainland gangster with ties to the Red Scorpions.
The Bacon family's lawyer, Kimberly Eldred, refused to comment or confirm Bacon's death when reached by email.
Witnesses say men dressed in black wearing face masks opened fire with an automatic weapon on a vehicle near the Lake City Casino in Kelowna around 3 p.m.
News1130 spoke with Kelowna reporter James Moore of AM 1150 radio, who was on the scene on Water Street speaking to witnesses.
"Somebody saw men dressed in black, in black face masks, with automatic weapons open fire on a small, white vehicle in front of the casino," he says.
Cst. Steve Holmes with Kelowna RCMP says an investigation is underway.
"Clearly this kind of incident is quite rare in Kelowna, however when it does happen it is shocking and traumatic to those affected by it, and is of concern to the people living in this community," he says.
"The public needs to know that swift and extraordinary measures are being taken in order to ensure that those reponsible will be found and brought to account before the courts."
