Man found guilty of 2018 gang shooting that killed Vancouver teen
More than seven years after an innocent teen was killed during a gang fight on a Vancouver street, a 29-year-old man has been convicted.
The BC Prosecution Service confirmed to The Leader Spirit that Kane Carter was found guilty of two counts of second-degree murder on Monday.
Police believed Carter, who was involved in gang life, was in the region to shoot a rival who was having dinner at a restaurant near Broadway and Ontario Street in Mount Pleasant on Jan. 13, 2018.
Carter was arrested in Ontario in 2022. He was charged with the second-degree murders of 15-year-old Alfred Wong and 23-year-old Kevin Whiteside, who were both killed.
Last year, a deadlocked jury forced a retrial of Carter’s case, which finally began in October of 2025.
The BC Prosecution Service says Carter is expected back in court on Dec. 10 to schedule a date for his sentencing hearing.
