Notorious gangster Jonathan Bacon was killed during a shooting in front of the Delta Grand hotel on Aug. 14, 2011.

7:45 a.m.: A special media conference has been called in Vancouver to announce a significant development in a gang murder investigation.

It is believed the news, to be released by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit will have something to do with the murder of Jonathon Bacon, who was gunned down in Kelowna in August 2011.

There have been unconfirmed reports that a number of arrests were made over the weekend with ties to Sukh Dhak, a gangster who was gunned down at a Burnaby hotel in November 2012.

The press conference is set for 1 p.m. Pacific Time.
