Kane Carter sentenced for two counts of second-degree murder

Seven and a half years after the shooting of 15-year-old Alfred Wong and 23-year-old Kevin Whiteside, convicted murderer Kane Carter has been sentenced.

The BC Prosecution Service confirmed Thursday to CityNews that Carter has been sentenced on both counts to concurrent lifetime jail sentences with parole eligibility after 17 years.

The court also imposed a lifetime firearms ban, a DNA order, and a $200 victim fine surcharge.

Police believed Carter, who was known to be involved with gangs, was in Vancouver to shoot a rival who was having dinner at a restaurant near Broadway and Ontario Street in Mount Pleasant on Jan. 13, 2018.

Carter was arrested in Ontario in 2022.

Carter’s initial trial resulted in a deadlocked jury which forced a retrial that began in October of 2025.

Carter was convicted in December of 2025.
