UPDATE: 27-year-old Jason Wallace has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the homicide of Robert Green on Oct. 16. RCMP arrested Wallace at 152 Street and 71A Avenue in Surrey. He is currently in custody. Police said Wallace was not affiliated with the Hells Angels.
Investigators are appealing to the public for information about the death of a 56-year-old Burnaby man who was a senior member of the Hells Angels.
Around 10:30 a.m. Sunday, RCMP were called to the 23700-block of 72 Avenue in the Township of Langley, where a male victim was found suffering from severe injuries.
Despite the best efforts of first responders, the victim died of his injuries at the scene soon afterwards, and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took over the investigation.
Police have determined the homicide was targeted and not random, and are continuing to gather information.
IHIT identified the victim, who had a criminal record, as Robert Keith Green.
The motive of the homicide is currently unknown and police are encouraging witnesses to come forward.
