Calgary gang leader turns himself in

Mar 6, 2019 | 2:25 PM

CALGARY – An accused gang leader who faces a new murder trial in Calgary has turned himself in.

Nick Chan was charged in 2013 with first-degree murder in the 2008 death of Kevin Anaya in what police described as a shooting between rival gangs.

Chan also faced charges of conspiracy to commit another murder and of directing others to commit murder for the benefit of a criminal organization.

A judge stayed the charges last year due to a Supreme Court ruling called the Jordan decision that limits the length of legal proceedings.

But Alberta’s Appeal Court has ruled the delay was justified and ordered a new trial.

Calgary police say Chan has turned himself in at the Calgary Remand Centre.
