Charges stayed against teen brothers in shooting that left one dead, two injured

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 21 Nov, 2023 12:00 PM
  • Charges stayed against teen brothers in shooting that left one dead, two injured

The Crown has stayed charges against two teenage brothers in a Calgary shooting that left one man dead and two others injured last week.

A 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, had been charged with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.

His 18-year-old brother had been charged with accessory to murder after the fact.

A spokeswoman for the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service says the case was reassessed after additional information came to light. 

Police had charged the two brothers after a Nov. 13 shooting in the parking lot of mall in northeastern Calgary and found 23-year-old Rami Hajj Ali dead and two others injured.

Investigators said at the time that the attack was targeted and connected to an ongoing organized crime conflict in Calgary.
