A second man has been sentenced to prison in connection with Regina’s first homicide of 2021.
Bobby Edward Dawson Gray, 22, initially was charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Amber Dawn Wood on Jan. 16, 2021.
During an appearance Monday in Regina Court of King’s Bench, Gray pleaded guilty to the lesser included offence of manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
With credit for time already served, he’ll spend just over nine years behind bars. He also was handed a lifetime firearms ban and was ordered to provide a DNA sample.
On Dec. 21, Peyton Anthony Stevenson received a 15-year sentence for his role in Wood’s death.
According to a Regina Police Service media release from the time of the incident, police and paramedics were dispatched to a house in the 700 block of Athol Street for a report of an injured woman. There, first responders found Wood suffering from a gunshot wound.
Paramedics took the 38-year-old from Bienfait to hospital, where she died a short time later.
