These latest charges stem from a collaborative policing effort that led to an Edmonton man being charged with first degree murder for the shooting death of Theoren Poitras in Richmond, BC on Oct. 2, 2014 and second degree murder for the shooting death of Alor Deng in Edmonton on July 20, 2014 (see previous Media Release H15R007).
The criminal charges announced today stem from a violent break and enter to a northside residence on July 20, 2014, whereby an occupant of the home had three toes severed.
David Nguyen, 24, is facing a total of 14 criminal charges, including break and enter, robbery with a firearm, unlawful confinement, aggravated assault and various other firearms/weapons charges.
