Young man sentenced in 2021 manslaughter in South Vancouver [Video]

Three years after the violent altercation in South Vancouver that killed 19-year-old Vinay Aujla, a young man has been sentenced for manslaughter.

Police found Aujla dead and two other men seriously injured on the night of Oct. 30, 2021, following a rollover crash involving a Mazda minivan near Fraser Street and East 55th Avenue.

The Vancouver Police Department never publicly commented on Aujla’s cause of death, except to confirm he was not killed in the collision. The other two victims were hospitalized with stab wounds.

“Police believe the three men were riding in the vehicle when they were involved in a confrontation with people in another car,” the department wrote in a news release Thursday.

Earlier this year, one count of manslaughter and two counts of aggravated assault were approved against a 19-year-old man, whose identity is protected because he was a young offender at the time of Aujla’s killing.
