Matin Pouyan, 28, who police believe has ties to the United Nations gang shot six times

Matin Pouyan, 28, who police believe has ties to the United Nations gang (a known rival of the notorious Red Scorpians gang, that police have tied to Abbotsford's Bacon brothers Jamie, 22, Jarrod, 25, and Jonathan, 27) is shot six times in a Safeway parking lot in Kitsilano. Pouyan has refused to cooperate with police with information that may help identify the shooter. Pouyan has a history of gun-related charges. He served time in jail for firing a 9-mm Glock handgun inside the City Limits Cabaret in Abbotsford in 2004, and was linked to a Richmond shootout in 2007 that saw more than 150 bullets fired in a quiet suburban park.
