On March 24, 2018, police officers were called to a business in the area of 156 Street and Stony Plain Road for “a trouble not known,” police said on Wednesday. When officers arrived, they found a 36-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and has since been released.
“Following a thorough investigation, officers learned that the 36-year-old male was reportedly involved in an altercation with another male at the business, during which a firearm was produced and he was shot.”
On the day of the shooting, police said the incident unfolded at a clothing store at about 11:30 a.m. and that the victim was wounded following a dispute with customers.
Hancock is described by police as five-foot-seven with a medium build. He has short brown hair and a beard or goatee, investigators said, adding he has a tattoo of a spade and an F.T.W. tattoo on the left side of his neck.
