At a preliminary inquiry, the defendant was charged with five counts of attempted murder and gun-related offences arising from a targeted shooting incident on April 16, 2015, in which five victims were shot at close range outside a residence.
The defendant contested committal, arguing there was no evidence he attempted to kill the victims or was aware of the plan to shoot them.
The defendant was the driver of the getaway vehicle.
The court found sufficient evidence to commit the defendant to stand trial on all counts, determining that while the defendant did not personally fire the weapons, there was compelling circumstantial evidence from which a reasonable inference arose that he knew of and was complicit in the plan to kill the victims.
