Murder of Richard Chacon

At 3:30 a.m. on July 25, 1999, 31-year-old Richard Chacon was working as a manager at The Car Wash, an illegal after-hours nightclub at 1180 West Hastings in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  That morning there were nearly 100 people gathered there.  

There was a fight that had broken out between two men in the club. Richard would try to break up the fight. He would walk up behind a blonde-haired man in a Hawaiian shirt and try to get him off a dark-skinned, possibly black man. A shot would ring out and both the blonde man and Richard were shot by the same bullet. Someone would shout, “My God, Trevor – you just shot someone.”

Both Richard and the other man were taken to the hospital. Richard would pass and the other man would become wheelchair-bound. 

It's believed that people in the club that night know who "Trevor" is, but they have not been identified yet.
