The Reena Virk case involves the brutal assault and murder of a 14-year-old girl by a group of teenagers, later dubbed The Shoreline Six, who, in part, were Josephine Bell, leader of the CMC (Crip Mafia Cartel), Kelly Ellard, Dusty, and Warren Glowatski, in Victoria, Canada, in 1997. Reena, who had a troubled background, was lured to a party at Craigflower Bridge, where she was violently attacked by Warren Glowatski, Kelly Ellard, and others.


After escaping briefly, Reena was pursued, dragged to a waterfront area, and subjected to further beatings before being drowned. The case revealed a lack of intervention and support, delaying the search for Reena. Legal proceedings led to convictions for those involved, highlighting issues of bullying, violence, and the vulnerability of marginalized individuals. The case sparked discussions about restorative justice, rehabilitation, and the need to support troubled youth.


Reena's tragic death serves as a reminder of the consequences of cruelty and the need to address systemic issues, and inspired Rebecca Godfrey’s true crime bestseller Under the Bridge, which is officially getting a Hulu adaptation in 2023.
