OFF THE WIRE- CANANDA
By Kim Bolan
VANCOUVER — A high-profile member of the Hells Angels is believed to be dead after being shot several times at his Vancouver home Thursday morning.
Juel Ross Stanton was on bail on a series of charges after a fight earlier this year.
Neighbours say they heard about 10 shots at about 6 a.m. in the quiet residential neighbourhood near Vancouver’s city hall. Authorities have taped off a two-block area around the home.
Neighbours say they saw Staton’s body lying on the driveway of his huge renovated heritage house.
Vancouver Police are not confirming anything other than a major police incident.
Most neighbours did not want to be quoted by name. Several have complained to the Vancouver Sun over the last two years of harassment and intimidation by Stanton and his friends who would show up at all hours.
But another neighbour said Stanton could also be really nice and helped her son when his bike broke down in front of the house.
“It was only a matter of time before something like this happened,” she said.
Stanton was due in court Friday on a series of weapons and assault counts in relation to alleged bar attacks that happened a few months ago.
Stanton was ordered released on 21 strict bail conditions that prevented him from displaying any Hells Angel clothing, logo or even his biker tattoos publicly. Nor could he have Hells Angel images on his vehicles or properties.
Stanton has also been banned from being in the company of other Hells Angels or associates, except for his own son Dillon, according to the conditions set by Judge Jocelyn Palmer.
