Man who claimed self-defence found guilty of murder in Dartmouth shooting
CBC
A 24-year-old man who claimed he was acting in self-defence when he shot another man to death two years ago in downtown Dartmouth, N.S., has been found guilty of second-degree murder.
A jury returned with its verdict Friday afternoon in the trial of Justin Ronald Adams-Clarke, 24, who was charged in the May 12, 2021, death of Tyler Michael Boyd Algee, 22.
The trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court heard the two had scuffled after meeting at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth, and that Algee, a mixed-martial arts fighter, had put Adams-Clarke in a choke hold.
The two met again the next day, and Adams-Clarke testified he took a shotgun out of a bag to intimidate Algee and prevent a fight, but fired it when Algee advanced on him.
The Crown argued that Adams-Clarke went looking for Algee. The jury was told that Adams-Clarke texted a friend that day to tell him he was going to have to kill Algee.
Second-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence. Parole eligibility ranges from 10 to 25 years, and will be set by a judge at sentencing.
