MAPLE RIDGE – A Metro Vancouver man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for the killing of another man in Maple Ridge almost two years ago.
Homicide investigators say 27-year-old Alexander Delair pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a firearm last November after initially being charged with second-degree murder.
Police say Delair was sentenced on April 1 for both the homicide and an unrelated robbery, and he had already served 20 months in jail when the sentence was handed down.
That means the man will serve another 12-and-a-half years in prison, and the court has also issued a lifetime firearm ban.
On May 31, 2024, RCMP officers responded to a report of shots being fired in the area of 223 Street and Lougheed Highway and found an injured 34-year-old man.
The victim, who isn’t named by police, died at the scene while the suspect fled, but Delair was later arrested and charged.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 8, 2026.
