The accused was charged with second-degree murder following a shooting at a nightclub.
The accused admitted to shooting the deceased but claimed self-defence, arguing he feared for his life due to the deceased's history of violence and gang affiliation.
The court rejected the self-defence claim, finding the accused's response unreasonable given his role in instigating the confrontation and introducing a concealed firearm.
The court also rejected the partial defence of provocation, finding the accused did not lose self-control.
The accused was found guilty of second-degree murder.
