A known gang member arrested at a funeral home in Calgary was ordered deported almost four years ago, officials say.
Tran Trong Nghi Nguyen, who goes by the name Jackie Tran, was arrested on an immigration warrant Thursday night, police said.
Lisa White, Canada Border Services Agency spokeswomanThe warrant stipulates that he be deported out of Canada upon his arrest. Nguyen is a Vietnamese citizen.
Police said Nguyen was picked up at a funeral home in Forest Lawn at a viewing for Mark Kim, another gang member.
Kim, 23, was killed in a downtown alley on New Year's Eve. No arrests have been made in the case.
Nguyen ordered removed from Canada in 2004
Nguyen, who was a permanent resident, had a criminal record in Calgary that included two convictions for drug trafficking, so immigration officials issued a removal order for him on April 20, 2004.
