A man who admitted to shooting the gun that killed a 15-year-old girl in Montreal in 2021 was found guilty by a jury on Thursday of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder, while his co-accused was acquitted of all charges.
With his guilty verdict, Salim Touaibi, 29, is automatically sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years. Aymane Bouadi, 30, walked out of the Montreal courthouse and reunited with his family, his lawyer told reporters.
