The man who was shot dead last night at his East Vancouver home was Alexander Julian Liang.
Police have now confirmed his identity as the victim of the city’s 8th homicide of the year.
The targeted hit happened at the 21-year-old’s home on east Sixth Avenue and Rupert.
Court records say Liang was facing various charges.
They include robbery, unlawful confinement and use of a fake firearm, stemming from an incident in Burnaby in 2011.
He was also accused of drug-related offences in January and July of that year.
So far no arrests have been made.
