Ahmed Riyaz Tahir, 21, didn't have a criminal record when Burnaby RCMP caught him dealing fentanyl in 2020. Now he's serving a life sentence for murder.
Ahmed Riyaz Tahir had no criminal record when undercover Burnaby RCMP officers busted him for dealing fentanyl a little more than two years ago.
"He did not have a criminal record – he does now," Crown prosecutor Heather Pineo said at a sentencing hearing on the drug charges in Vancouver provincial court last week. Tahir’s parents are hardworking people, Muldoon said; his father owns a barbershop and his mother works at Walmart. He had done some work for a moving company and helped his dad at the barbershop, according to Muldoon.Now just 21 years old, Tahir is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 15 years for the vape store shooting, which police said was linked to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
