The two others shot, a man and a woman, were transported to hospital. Sources said the murder is likely retaliation for the fatal shooting of United Nations gangster Karman Grewal, 28, at Vancouver International Airport on Sunday afternoon. Someone at the scene confirmed to Postmedia that none of the three were customers of the Cactus Club restaurant in the complex, though they were shot near an outside patio. Others on the patio screamed and dove for cover after the shots rang out. Broken glass was scattered around the patio. One woman told Postmedia she and her friend put their name on a list for the outdoor patio before heading to Canadian Tire to look around.
