In March of 2024, a middle-aged man was having a cigarette outside his Surrey, B.C., social housing complex when he noticed Jae Won Lee, a 23-year-old Australian-born permanent resident of Canada, lifting the cover off another resident’s motorcycle.
The man approached Lee to ask what he was doing, to which Lee replied, “Mind your own business, old man.”
Lee then pulled out a knife with a six-inch blade and stabbed the man’s arm before chasing him into the building’s lobby, where he stabbed him in the abdomen.
