The offender was convicted of two counts of assault and multiple firearm offences, including possession of a loaded prohibited firearm while subject to three prohibition orders.
The court considered the offender's background as a Black Canadian refugee, an eight-year gap in his criminal record, and the harsh conditions of his presentence custody involving 290 days of lockdowns.
The court imposed a total sentence of 40 months, reduced by 28 months of presentence custody credit, leaving 12 months to serve, followed by 12 months of probation.
