A man faces charges in connection with a shooting last week in Fairview.
On April 14 at 1:25 p.m., police responded to a shooting at a business on Titus Street. Officers located a 41-year-old man at the scene suffering from a gun shot injury and he was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. A second man, 23, arrived at the hospital a short time later with a gun shot injury that is believed to have occurred at the Titus Street location. This was not a random incident and investigators believe that the 23-year-old man was the intended target, however, the 41-year old man was an innocent bystander.
Eighteen-year-old Decoda Levon White of Halifax, who was arrested without incident at an Albro Lake Road address yesterday afternoon, was scheduled to appear in Halifax Provincial Court today to face two counts of attempted murder, two counts of discharging a firearm with intent, two counts of pointing a firearm, and one count each of careless use of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized, possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon with ammunition, unauthorized possession in a motor vehicle and possession contrary to order
