The offender was found guilty by a jury of attempted murder, pointing a firearm, and possession of a firearm while prohibited.
The offender shot the victim multiple times over a drug debt.
The Crown sought a life sentence, while the defence sought 10 to 12 years.
The court found the offender's lengthy and violent criminal record to be a significant aggravating factor, but concluded this was not the 'worst offence' requiring a life sentence.
The court imposed a global sentence of 16 years, less credit for pre-sentence custody, resulting in 11 years and 4 months to be served.
