Youth gets life in triple murder - : "He gunned down three people in cold blood for no other reason except he was mad about being kicked out of a birthday party.
Now a young street gang member who continues to pose a high risk to reoffend has been given the maximum sentence allowed by law for his role in a mass killing.
The 18-year-old, who was 15 at the time of the March 2008 attack, received a mandatory life sentence on Tuesday with no chance of parole for at least seven years. A jury convicted him last year of three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. Queen's Bench Justice Colleen Suche then ruled he would be raised to adult court for sentencing.
The youth and a co-accused were found to have fired nearly two dozen gunshots into a crowded birthday party on Alexander Avenue. Those killed were 31-year-old Scott Lavallee, 26-year-old Jennifer Ward and 22-year-old Corey Keeper. Two men and another woman also went to hospital with life-threatening injuries."
