Lots of shootings recently but this is just an update to that double homicide in point grey, we haven't gotten any updates from the police but global did some digging, interesting read
Police look at organized crime connections to Vancouver double-homicide
By Sam Cooper Global News
Posted April 28, 2022 3:00 am
On a Sunday morning in February, the serenity of Point Grey was disrupted. In the heart of Vancouver’s priciest oceanfront neighbourhood, rifle-bearing police surrounded the $7-million mansion of Wu Shumin, a politically connected 50-year-old businesswoman from China’s Fujian province.
They were responding to a call from a neighbour who spotted a white BMW X5 SUV with a shattered window parked in the street beside Wu’s home. When the neighbour peered inside, he saw Wu and another woman lying still, covered in blood.
To date, Vancouver police have only confirmed that Wu and the other victim, Sun Yingying, a 39-year-old former Chinese soccer pro, had been the victims of a targeted shooting at 10:30 p.m. the previous night.
Yet a Global News investigation has pieced together many of the details about the circles in which Wu and Sun travelled. Global News has also learned that the case has caught the interest of Canadian federal investigators.
The Feb. 19 killings shocked Vancouver’s Chinese-Canadian community and spurred an extraordinary flood of police tips in the following week, sources say. And two months later, the hunger for facts about Sun and Wu — who owned a luxury gym in south Vancouver — remains undiminished as the community tries to understand who the women were, and what could possibly have motivated their executions.
Police are not commenting on the victims’ backgrounds, but interviews with community sources in Vancouver and Toronto show that speculative theories are circulating on social networks. Chinese-language media is rife with similar commentary.
Reports in Dawa News, a media outlet in Vancouver run by a former China Daily editor, pointed to a lending dispute involving Wu’s family in Fujian, where Wu’s former husband runs a successful pastry shop franchise. Mingpao suggests that Wu and Sun were in the luxury-home building business in Richmond, B.C., and that Wu had run a nightclub in Fujian, and was also planning to get into the legal marijuana growing business in Vancouver. Global News could not independently confirm these claims.
What is proven is that Wu and Sun ran a “high-end VIP clubhouse” in a strip mall minutes from the Vancouver airport. The Chen Fit Palace — an 8,000 square-foot facility located under a budget motel — offered “VIP” memberships for $4,888 per year. After patrons passed through the gym’s nightclub-style entrance, complete with metal security gates and high-angle video cameras, they were treated to luxurious marble-surfaced interiors, massage and traditional Chinese tea service, and spinning classes featuring pumping soundtracks and disco-ball lighting.
While there are no allegations against the Fit Palace, Global News has learned police are scrutinizing the VIP club as investigators strive to understand the business and social circles populated by the victims. Repeated phone calls seeking comment from the Fit Palace have not been answered.
B.C. Attorney General David Eby, who represents the Point Grey riding, told Global News he is aware “of allegations of organized crime involvement” in the double-homicide, but he could not comment on police investigations.
“The brutal shootings of two women in my otherwise peaceful and quiet home community came as a shock to many of my neighbours and friends, and certainly to me,” Eby stated.
A Global News investigation reveals that Wu and Sun operated in a world of moneyed, pro-Beijing expatriates in Richmond, B.C., and Markham, Ont.
Interviews with police sources and searches of B.C. court, real-estate and business records indicate that the victims socialized with and did business in the same clubhouse entertainment sector as some suspects involved in investigations by RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
This set of information also shows that Wu was a leader of the Quanzhou Friendship Society and that Sun associated with the group.
The Society, based in Richmond, says that it has hundreds of members in Vancouver who are completing tasks for the Chinese Communist Party, according to Chinese government reports. One of the reports, published in October 2020, says Quanzhou’s “Overseas Chinese” members completed many “achievements during the pandemic” in Canada and “the social influence of the association is increasing day by day.”
Meanwhile, some members may be taking directions from the Party’s foreign espionage organs, the Chinese Overseas Affairs Office and United Front Work Department, Canadian government reports and experts say.
“The managing of their behaviour is accomplished through incentive or disincentive, as well as intelligence-gathering, surveillance, and subversion against Overseas Chinese communities,” a 2020 national security screening report from Canada Border Services Agency says.
Representatives from the Quanzhou society didn’t respond to repeated phone calls and emailed questions from Global News, seeking comments about Wu’s murder, and information from police sources that linked Wu and the society to Chinese state networks.
so weird "VIP" club houses sound like money laundering places since its almost 4 grand for membership to drink Tea. huh.

Haha I love these places all over Richmond, just full of these very obvious front businesses where even the most basic forms of community aren’t being observed.
Should get any black or brown or even white person to go in there with $4,888 in hand to try and join, for sure they’d be turned away, but nobody bats an eye about it right?

I'm just surprised the police are so mum about it, yet most of our other shootings we get photo and press releases almost immediately
These two are obviously shady, yet its almost as if they're being protected by authorities
Also, $5K membership to a fitness club in the basement of a rundown strip mall? Thats like double the membership of equinox :lol
