REAL SCOOP: Richmond murder likely retaliation for Kang hit

Article content continued

Just like after Kang’s murder Thursday, the rival sides were posting threats of more violence and taunting comments about their enemies on Instagram on Friday.

A pro-Kang poster listed others on the BK side that he expected to be killed next. And he put up photos of those already killed in the recent violence.

Beside Mohammed’s photo there’s a skull emoji and a comment: “All that woofin on the net now you are a skeleton 6 ft deep like your bros.”

Jang said investigators are looking at the social-media posts as part of their probe.

“What they’re doing on social media is completely unacceptable,” he said.

Mohammed allegedly provided drugs sold by the Wolf Pack in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

In 2018, Mohammed was convicted of assault with a weapon and was handed a 90-day conditional sentence.

In 2013 — when he was associated with the Dhak gang — Mohammed was charged with trafficking cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine in Richmond for a major drug line there. He pleaded guilty in June 2014 and was sentenced to 18 months in jail.

In 2011, he was arrested in Nanaimo with key Dhak gang member Jujhar Singh Khun-Khun carrying large quantities of cocaine, marijuana and ecstasy, and later pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance and was fined.

Khun-Khun was convicted of conspiracy to kill the late Jon Bacon of the Red Scorpions. Bacon was shot to death at Kelowna in August 2011.

While Jang said Mohammed lived in Vancouver at the time of his murder, he was living in a luxury rental condo in Richmond in late 2019. According to court documents, his landlord went to court to get an order to collect over $27,000 in back rent owed for the suite.
