Man accused of attempted murder makes first court appearance

A show-cause (bail) hearing has been scheduled for April 2 in Moose Jaw provincial court for Jordan Reinhold Dean Shields, who is accused of several offences, including attempted murder. Shields, 36, from Eyebrow, appeared in an empty provincial court courtroom on March 30, where his charges were read into the record. The Crown was opposed to his release, so he was remanded back to jail until he appears by video for his bail hearing.

All of Shields’ charges stem from an incident on Friday, March 27 in Moose Jaw. According to the court, Shields had been placed on a probation order on Nov. 26, 2019, where he was to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, and stay inside his residence from 10 p.m. to 6 p.m. unless given permission.

However, he is alleged to have breached that condition on March 27 when he allegedly assaulted Nathan Forbes. As part of that alleged assault, Shields is accused of allegedly assaulting Forbes with a weapon (a cane); allegedly assaulting

Forbes with a dog; allegedly attempting to murder Forbes with a prohibited weapon (handgun) and allegedly discharging the firearm at Forbes; and allegedly conducting a break and enter into a place with intent to commit an indictable (serious) offence.

According to information previously released by police, officers were dispatched to a residence on Ninth Avenue Northeast around 3 a.m. on March 27 for a report of a shooting. Police arrived to find an adult male who had been shot in the lower extremities. He was transported to Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital and is recovering from serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police arrested Shields in connection with the matter without incident later in the day.

An arrest warrant was also issued for Shaun Clayton Robinson, 41, of Moose Jaw, for attempted murder and numerous other charges.
