The prosecution is askingthat notorious gangsterRealHonorioserve 20 years before being allowed to ask for parole for gunning down innocent bystanderKeni Su'a as he ran from the Bolsa Restaurant in southeast Calgaryon New Year's Day, 2009.

Su'a was one of three people to die that day. Honorio, Nathan Zuccherato and a gang associate who can't be named because of a publication ban have all admitted their roles in the slayings.

"These facts are extremely disturbing," said prosecutor Steven Johnston onMonday as a sentencing hearing got underway.

"They demonstrate a ruthless disregard for life."

Honoriowascharged with several murders stemming from a gang war that ended six years ago.

He'spleaded guilty to second-degree murder after his lawyers, Tonii Roulston and Andrea Urquhart,negotiated the dealwith prosecutors Steven Johnston and Adam May.

A second-degree murder conviction comes with an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 10 to25 years.

The FOB vs. FK gang war peaked in January,2009, whenSanjeev Mann, Aaron Bendle and Keni Su'a were gunned down in a gang revenge plot at Bolsa Vietnamese Restaurant.

Mann, 22, was a known gangster and Bendle, 21, was an associate who had been kidnapped and used as bait to lure Mann to the restaurant. Su'a, an innocent bystander, was killed when he ran from the restaurant.

Defence arguments will take place on Tuesday with lawyers proposing a 12-year parole ineligibility.
