Calgary police laid charges against a second person connected to an alleged shooting over a stolen van in August.
Police say it happened Aug. 13 just after 1:30 a.m. when they were called to a home on the eastern outskirts of the city for reports of a stolen van.
Officers found a white 2006 Chevrolet Express van nearby about an hour afterwards, riddled with bullet holes.
Police were later called to a hospital after someone walked in with a gunshot wound.
Officers allege the person who was shot stole the van, and the owner of the van fired several shots in retaliation.
Calgary man Brayden Froese faces charges including one count of motor vehicle theft and four counts of breaching release orders.
The 21-year-old will appear in court Sept. 23.
