Curtis Vidal was close to Hells Angels associate Clayton Eheler and had been aligned earlier with the Red Scorpions and Independent Soldiers before shifts in those gangs.
Vidal, 41, had been living in Alberta since completing his eight-year sentence for B.C. convictions related to a violent 2013 home invasion in the Fraser Valley.The Edmonton Police Service initially would not comment Wednesday when Postmedia asked about Vidal being shot to death in the city. But on Thursday evening, the EPS issued a news release confirming the B.C. man had been gunned down Tuesday night in the area of Edgemont Way and Erasmus Crescent and Erasmus Wynd.
The news release also said that police “responded to the report of an injured male at a residence in the area” and found him dead inside a front attached garage.Article content
