Wong was only 15 years old when he was killed while he was sitting in the back of his parents\u2019 car on their way home from dinner in January 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Wong caught a stray bullet in the chest and died a short time later.<\/p>\n<p>In the initial trial, Carter pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree murder that left Wong and alleged gangster Kevin Whiteside dead.<\/p>\n<p>Wong was struck by a bullet while riding in the back seat of his parents\u2019 car, while another innocent bystander was grazed by a bullet in his own vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Story continues below

the recreation by police officers and cellphone records, Carter was the likely shooter.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors had argued that Carter was in Vancouver to kill Whiteside, who was himself in the area to kill gang rival Matthew Navas-Rivas.<\/p>\n<p>Defence argued that there was a reasonable doubt that Carter was not the shooter.<\/p>\n<p>However, the jury found him guilty on both
