The audio from the final moments of 15-year-old Alfred Wong’s life were played for a jury at the murder trial of his accused killer in B.C. Supreme Court Tuesday.
Kane Carter has pleaded not guilty to the second-degree murders of Wong, an innocent bystander, and 23-year-old Kevin Whiteside, an alleged gang member, as well as the aggravated assault of Shaiful Khondoker, another innocent bystander.
The incident happened on Jan. 13, 2018, when Wong, a Coquitlam high school student, was in the back seat of his family's car when he was caught in the crossfire of a reckless gunfight on East Broadway near Ontario Street.
The Crown played the footage recorded by the dash cam in Wong’s parents’ car to the jury during the testimony of his mother, Che Chan, who was also in the vehicle at the time of the shooting with Alfred and his father.
Chan, who also goes by Chelly, said they had gone to visit Wong’s older brother in Vancouver that night, as they did on a weekly basis.
She said they were traveling east along East Broadway at around 9:15 p.m., when she heard loud bangs ring out.
“I heard some fire crackers noise, like pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,” said Chan, who testified with a victim’s services worker, as well as a support dog by her side.
