  • A B.C. jury also convicted Teixeira of attempted murder and a firearms offence after a lengthy trial.
  • The victim was 28-year-old Nicholas Khabra, who was shot to death in Surrey in 2017.
  • Teixeira fled to the United States in 2018 after being charged and was arrested in Oroville, California.
  • He was extradited back to Canada in April 2020 to face the proceedings.
