A known gang member was tracked down, shot and killed along with his 11-year-old son on Nov. 9 while they were in a car parked outside an Edmonton fast-food restaurant, police say.

Acting Supt. Colin Derksen told reporters on Nov. 10 that the boy was not caught in the line of fire but deliberately killed. A second boy around the same age, a friend of the dead child, was also in the car.
