VANCOUVER A young man charged in connection with a 2019 shooting that left a woman seriously injured in New Westminster, B.C., has pleaded guilty, according to police.

He was sentence to six-and-a-half years on the first count and three years on the second. The Nov. 17, 2019 shooting prompted a major police response on Osborne Street, where first responders found a woman in serious condition at the scene. Monteith had fled the area, but was found and arrested days later in Vancouver with help from the Vancouver Police Department s Emergency Response Team.
