Richard John Raymond pleaded guilty to reckless discharge of a prohibited firearm, possession of a loaded prohibited firearm, and possession of a firearm while prohibited.
The offences stemmed from a gunfight outside a Toronto nightclub where Raymond discharged his weapon multiple times and was himself shot.
The Crown sought a global sentence of seven years, while the defence sought five years, emphasizing mitigating factors such as Raymond's difficult background, anti-Black racism, and harsh pre-sentence custody conditions.
The court imposed a global sentence of six years and six months, granting enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody due to the difficult conditions and Raymond's injuries.
Ancillary orders included a lifetime weapons prohibition and a DNA order.
