0:00It's April 1st. From your city to your ears, this is Vancouver News today, powered by AI. A British Columbia man convicted a first degree murder, faces synancing this Wednesday. Brandon Tassira got nailed last August for the October 2017 shooting death of Nicolas Cabra in Surrey, plus attempted murder and firing. A gun, with intent to kill, charges hit in 2018, but to share a bolted to the United States. Cops nabbed him in Orville, California on December 1st, 2019, then extradited him back to Canada in April 2020. Jurors learned it was a straight-up hit job, with Tassira gunning down Cabra after believing the victim set him up in an earlier drive-by shooting. To pay off, $160,000. A key witness, and alleged accomplice called Person X, spilled details on the attack but faced heavy fire from the defense over his shady past. This guy racked up 50,000 in debt, cut informant deals worth half a million bucks, with the
1:01RCMP, and pled to conspiracy for just a five-year. Bid. With the gavel about to drop, this case underscores the brutal world of contract killings in our backyard eyes, on the judge for what's next in. Take Sarah's fate.
