Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 02 Dec, 2025 10:55 AM

The man accused of killing an innocent teenager and a gang member in a 2018 shootout on a busy Vancouver road has been convicted of two counts of second-degree murder.

The BC Prosecution Service has confirmed that the jury in the trial of Kane Carter returned the verdicts Monday evening.

The conviction comes more than a year after a previous mistrial, with the jury deadlocked after five days of deliberations.

Carter was charged with the murders of 15-year-old bystander Alfred Wong and 23-year-old Kevin Whiteside along Vancouver's busy Broadway during the exchange of gunfire in January 2018.

The Crown has said Carter began shooting to protect a gang associate at a nearby restaurant, and Wong was passing by in the back seat of his parents' car when he was hit by a stray bullet.

The BC Prosecution Service says Carter's next court appearance will be on Dec. 10 to schedule a date for sentencing.
