The accused pleaded guilty to manslaughter following an incident where the victim was shot and killed.
The accused was not the shooter but participated in a plan to confront the victim to recover stolen items, knowing a firearm was present.
The Crown sought a sentence of 6 to 8 years' imprisonment, while the defence sought 4 years.
Considering the gravity of the offence, the aggravating and mitigating factors, including the accused's background, youth, and rehabilitative prospects, the court imposed a sentence of 66 months' imprisonment, minus credit for pre-sentence custody, followed by 3 years' probation.
