Huang's name showed up in connection with almost every major organized-crime file in the country, but he was always "very well-insulated" and therefore never charged in Canada, the sources said.
A native of China, he is believed to have been in Canada for the past 10 years and has criminal ties to Toronto, the United States, Australia, Hong Kong and China.
He was the subject of RCMP investigations when he was gunned down by a shooter who was waiting when he arrived home at 3883 Cartier St. about 11 p.m. Saturday, prompting his 10-year-daughter to call 911.
Huang had been living quietly in his huge west-side home with his wife, little girl and mother for four years without incident.
Vancouver police are investigating the murder and admit that Huang was on the radar of other police agencies before he became the city's 18th homicide victim of 2007.
"I can confirm now that the victim was known to other police agencies," Constable Tim Fanning said Monday.
