A 17-year-old boy charged with attempted murder made an appearance in Moose Jaw Provincial Court earlier this week.
The boy, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, appeared via video from the Paul Dojack Youth Centre in Regina and was represented by lawyer Merv Nidesh.
Nidesh asked for a short adjournment because he did not have a “substantial” amount of disclosure from the provincial Crown prosecutor. Disclosure is the evidence that the Crown prosecution has against the accused.
According to police, there was an alleged shooting on the North Service Road on July 14 in which the victim suffered serious gunshot wounds.
Police identified two suspects in the shooting, 30-year-old Meagan Windover and a 17-year-old boy.
The boy was arrested on July 15 following a police operation on the 1100 block of Willow Avenue.
The youth is charged with:
- Break and enter with the intent to commit an indictable offence
- Break and enter and commit an indictable offence
- Failure to comply with a sentence or disposition
- Failure to comply with a release order
- Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
- Carrying a concealed weapon
- Possession of a weapon while prohibited
- Assault
- Attempted Murder
The boy will be back in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Monday.
