Police said they have suspects in Gold’s death and that the victim knew his killers. No names have been released.

Gold, who has a lengthy criminal record, was sentenced in 2004 to 10 years in prison for manslaughter in connection with the killing of Martin Cotey who was stabbed to death on a Penticton Beach in 2001.
