The offender, a 20-year-old first-time offender, was convicted by a jury of two counts of attempted murder and firearms offences after shooting two individuals inside a vehicle.
Following a Gardiner hearing, the court found the offender intended to kill both victims and was armed when he entered the vehicle.
The court weighed aggravating factors, including the use of a firearm in a public place, against mitigating factors such as the offender's youth, lack of prior record, punitive bail conditions, and harsh pre-trial custody conditions.
The offender was sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment, reduced to 12 years, 10 months, and 23 days after credit for pre-sentence custody.
