Prosecutors say 31-year-old Spencer Lewis is responsible for a double shooting that resulted in the death of Max Darville and seriously injured Deiondre Demeritte.

Both men were attending a grill out through Lucky Heart Corner on September 19 when they were shot by the occupants of a heavily-tinted Toyota Passo.

Darville died in hospital as a result of the shooting on September 23.

At the time of the incident, Lewis was on bail for the 2017 murder of Kirt Ariste and the attempted murder of Dino Cox.The charges stemmed from a shooting on Durham Street, off Mount Royal Avenue.
