The accused was charged with first-degree murder following the shooting death of the victim.
The Crown alleged the accused arranged the murder in retaliation for the robbery of a driver working for his illegal cannabis delivery service.
Relying heavily on intercepted communications, the court found the accused's own statements proved he procured and paid others to shoot the victim.
The court rejected defence arguments regarding intervening causes and alternative inferences.
The accused was found guilty of first-degree murder as an arranged murder under section 231(3) of the Criminal Code.
