A Vancouver man has been convicted of first degree murder following a Vancouver Police investigation into the death of a 69 year old man.

Just before midnight on January 26, 2019, Vancouver Police responded to several 911 calls about a shooting near Fraser Street and East 51 Avenue. Vancouver resident Zenen Cepeda Silva was found suffering from a gunshot injury and was transported to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Alvaro Julio Roche Garcia, 60, was arrested days after the incident and charges were approved by BC Prosecution Services. Following a trial, a jury returned a guilty verdict on November 6. Roche-Garcia was sentenced to an automatic 25 years in prison.
