Jonathan Bacon, the eldest Bacon brother and long-time Red Scorpion, was shot dead Sunday in a targeted attack that left six victims outside a busy Kelowna casino. And his friend, Larry Amero, of the White Rock Hells Angels, was seriously injured after being targeted in the same attack.
Kelowna RCMP was not confirming the names of those shot, but various sources told me Jon Bacon was dead and Amero was struck several times. And I have also heard that the niece of an HA chapter, was also shot and severely injured.
No doubt this will bring about retaliatory strikes.
Police do not have suspects and with such high-profile targets, it could be anyone. But obviously, the United Nation has had the most public and longest-running dispute with the Bacons and the Red Scorpions. And they don't like the Hells Angels for the most part.
UN gang member Michael Newman was beaten in Kent last month in an attack believed to have been ordered by a Red Scorpion leader also incarcerated there.
Here's our story so far:
While I am still on leave, this is an important story and I am re-opening my blog and filing a story. Amero is pictured with a friend below and this is a shot of Bacon outside the Abbotsford court house when he had his charges thrown out in June 2008. Of course the Court of Appeal ordered a new trial and that was to go ahead in February 2012.
