On May 27, 2012, Angus Mitchell walked into the Royal Oak Sushi House in Burnaby and allegedly shot and killed Huong “Andy” Tran and Chinh “Vivian” Diem Huynh. Two days later he allegedly shot and wounded his former landlord.
RCMP shot Mitchell on May 30 in Maple Ridge. He later died in hospital.
Mitchell’s death is now the subject of a B.C. Coroners Service inquest taking place at coroner’s court in Burnaby this week.
The inquest began Nov. 12 and is expected to run until Nov. 15 (Friday). Members of the jury and coroner Liana Wright will hear from subpoenaed witnesses in order to determine what happened leading up to the shooting death of Mitchell.
In June, the Vancouver Police Department completed their review of Mitchell’s shooting death at the hands of the RCMP and concluded there was no evidence to support charges against the officers involved.
Vancouver Const. Brian Montague told the NOW the Vancouver Police Department found no evidence to indicate officers had “acted inappropriately or did any wrongdoing.”
