THE GANGS ALL HERE
On Jan. 13, 2017, heavily armed Mounties in military-style garb raided a Kamloops gym then owned by the co-founder of the Red Scorpions gang. At the time, Konaam Shirzad told KTW he had left the gang life and gone straight. His murder eight months later on the street outside his Guerin Creek home set off the explosion of gangland violence that has resulted in an unprecedented number of assaults, kidnappings and murders in Kamloops. In today’s edition of KTW, we document the three groups fighting for control of the city’s drug trade and how the situation led to this bloody state.
