The Crown has stayed charges against a pair of brothers who were accused in a fatal shooting in northeast Calgary last week.
In an emailed statement, the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS) confirmed the charges against the accused, a 14-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man, were stayed due to new information.
“Further investigation following the laying of charges has resulted in additional information requiring a reassessment of the prosecution standard,” the ACPS said in the statement.
“The totality of the evidence presently does not support a prosecution.”
The charges were connected to a fatal shooting in the Calgary community of Marlborough Park on Nov. 13.
Police said a man was shot to death in his vehicle in the parking lot of the Trans Canada Centre, in the 1400 block of 52 Street N.E., just before 2 p.m. on Nov. 13.
Two additional people were injured and were taken to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.
