Police say a man with gang ties has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for an attempted murder at a park in Richmond.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit says in a news release that Thomas Duong tried to fatally shoot a man in August 2015.

The unit says Duong was arrested four months later and went on trial in December.

It says he was found guilty by a provincial court judge in February and sentenced earlier this week.
