For what?

Uppal, the 41-year-old killed Thursday, was well-known to police as a higher-up in the Edmonton gang and drug scene, Derksen said. Court documents show that at the time of his death, Uppal was facing charges for cocaine possession and trafficking, as well as illegal possession of body armour. He was set to go to trial in April 2024. He'd previously been charged with assault with a weapon and unauthorized possession of a firearm, but the proceedings were stayed in February. In 2013, he was sentenced to 15 months in jail on a different unauthorized firearm possession charge

The person responsible for putting a child in the way of a bullet was already killed at the scene.
