Second suspect in attempted murder case makes first court appearance

Shaun Clayton William Robinson, the second man accused in an attempted murder case, made his first appearance in Moose Jaw provincial court on April 1. The Crown opposed the release of Robinson, 41, from Moose Jaw. Legal Aid lawyer Tyne Hagey asked for a bail verification report (BVR) to be produced to determine if Robinson could live with a family member. She simply needed more personal information to go along with the report.

Judge Brian Hendrickson agreed to adjourn Robinson’s charges to Tuesday, April 7 so the BVR could be discussed. Robinson was remanded back into custody until then.

Robinson is accused of assault, assault with a weapon (two), break and enter into a dwelling place, attempted murder, and a weapons offence.

According to information previously released, Moose Jaw police were dispatched to a residence on Ninth Avenue Northeast around 3 a.m. on March 27 for 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 Jordan Shields in connection with the matter without incident later in the day.

Then on March 31 at 9:45 a.m., police located and arrested Robinson at a motel on Athabasca Street East on his outstanding warrant for attempted murder. Robinson was taken into custody without incident after police found him hiding in the motel room.

Police also arrested an adult male from Punnichy who had numerous warrants. The Punnichy man has also been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000 after police located a stolen vehicle on scene. Throughout the investigation police also seized a firearm that matched the description of the firearm used in the incident.

The investigation is ongoing.
