The second day of the Jonathan Bacon murder trial included testimony from people who were outside the Delta Grand Hotel when the 2011 shooting occurred.
Candy Lei and Siu Ling Xu had just checked into a room at the hotel with their children and Lei’s aunt on August 14, 2011, when they walked out of the hotel to go shopping.
They were still on the hotel’s courtyard when they heard loud noises that caught their attention, Lei describing it as tires popping and Xu saying it sounded like bubble wrap.
“It was like somebody was non-stop stepping on them, like, it was just going off like crazy” Xu said.
Both women testified they saw two masked men, dressed in dark clothing and holding “long guns”, come out of a car, shooting towards a white Porshe SUV that had driven into a wall.
“It looks like they were shooting the guy in the front seat” testified Xu.
She told the court she told one of her children "run, don't look back, just keep running" and the group fled back to the hotel.
Lei and Xu testified they never ended up staying at the hotel that night.
Red Scorpions gangster Jonathan Bacon was shot to death while he was sitting inside a white Porshe SUV outside the Kelowna hotel. Hells Angels Larry Amero, Independent Soldiers James Riach and two women were with him at the time.
Jujhar Khun-Khun, Michael Jones, and Jason McBride are on trial for 7 charges, including murder and attempted murder.
