The accused pleaded guilty to manslaughter after firing five shots into a vehicle, intending to shoot the vehicle but striking and killing the victim who was seated inside.
The Crown sought 13 to 15 years, while the defence sought 8 years.
The court considered the accused's extensive criminal record, use of an illegal firearm, and lack of insight as aggravating factors, balanced against his guilty plea.
The court imposed a sentence of 13 years imprisonment, less 44 months credit for pre-sentence custody, along with ancillary orders.
