A member of the 856 gang has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the fatal shooting of prominent Hells Angel Bob Green at a Langley party last year.
Jason Wallace turned himself in to police immediately after the Oct. 16 death of Green outside a building used by the 856 as a makeshift clubhouse.
On Friday, Wallace pleaded guilty to manslaughter in Surrey Provincial Court. The second-degree murder charge he originally faced was stayed.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team confirmed officially for the first time Friday that the slaying and dismemberment of Shaun Clary days after the Green murder was linked to the Hells Angels case.
Postmedia reported at the time that Clary was an 856 associate and that his murder was believed to be in retaliation for the death of Green, a member of the Mission City chapter of the notorious biker gang.
IHIT Cpl. Meghan Foster said Friday that “Green was a well-established member of an organized crime group, and investigators have identified links from his murder to the murder of Shaun Allan Clary that occurred overnight on October 24, 2016.”

“While investigators can say that there are links between these two murders, it cannot be confirmed that they are linked to other homicides, or current gang conflict,” she said.
Foster said IHIT investigators continue to work on the Clary case, though no one has yet been charged.
“It has been just over a year since this heinous act was made a public display, and it will not be forgotten,” she said.
“There are individuals who have specific and intimate details about what happened to Mr. Clary, and investigators are urging those people to contact police.”
