Steven Maurice Colley, 49, of Dartmouth, has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Andre Slawter and the attempted murder of Tywan Slawter.

Mr. Colley was arraigned on the charges Thursday afternoon in Dartmouth provincial court.

Mr. Colley was also arraigned on charges for possessing a weapon - a shotgun - for the purpose of committing a crime, unlicensed possession of a firearm, pointing a firearm and possessing a gun while prohibited from the same incident.

Andre Slawter, 20, was killed in a car on Brian Street in East Preston on Wednesday afternoon. Tywan Slawter,35, was also in the car at the time of the shooting, but escaped with minor injuries.

This man got out of jail at the end of september and stayed with me as friends. We were going to stay in Campbellton, New Brunswick and my first day there, he tried to murder me and left with all of my belongings, my cherished things from my daughters. have a brain tumor. This 53 yr old man is heartless and a scrub, watch out all bcuz, although acquitted, he is seeking mad revenge. Some ppl should be locked up for life. No joke.

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Scorpio

You're in a very romantic and sentimental state today. You're also feeling quite sensitive and vulnerable, so you won't want to be around anyone you find abrasive or aggressive. If you meet someone for the first time now you'll think they're wonderful and your relationship will always involve putting them on a pedestal. But don't be too idealistic. They are human, remember!
