A Sunnybank gunshot victim who was accused of trying to kill someone was found guilty.
After a shooting sparked by a “love quadrangle” and a stolen pushbike, a guy who had been accused of trying to kill someone was found guilty of the crime.
Brendyn Wade Clark is currently in court for a daytime gunshot that happened in the Sunnybank neighbourhood of southern Queensland in June 2019.
According to testimony given in court, Adrian Hing was shot five times by Clark, including once in the abdomen. Hing also suffered a finger loss.
A different victim, Clarice Warren, suffered gunshot wounds to the foot and leg.
There was an accusation of attempted murder against Hing.
The dispute began over a “love quadrangle” in a friendship circle that included individuals who were allegedly drug users, the court was informed.
Warren asserted that she had a “encounter” with Clark before to beginning her relationship with Hing.
In the courtroom, texts suggesting a fourth woman who was worried about Warren and Hing’s relationship were on exhibit.
Clark told Warren in the texts that “you have f—– everyone and it’s time to take it” since “[the woman] loved [Hing]”.
Regarding Warren, Clark stated in another message, “$500 for every bullet she gets hit with is the word.”
The argument allegedly led to the theft of Hing’s pushbike from his home.
Hing received texts notifying her of the position of the bike, which was split in two, near the bus stop outside of Clark’s home.
Clark fired a.22-caliber rifle when Hing and Warren went to fetch the bike.
Hing claims that he was initially shot in the stomach and went into “survival mode” after that.
He acknowledged, “I knew I’d been shot, but I wasn’t sure on where or how many times.”
“I just went right towards him since I couldn’t use my arms because I had been wounded in the shoulder and my bones were broken.
My finger was shot off as I tried to hang on to him but he was able to pull me away.
I felt I had lost.
Clark argued that his intention was not to kill Hing even though he did not explicitly deny shooting at him.
A jury concluded that Clark had attempted murder on his record.
Justice Lincoln Crowley will sentence him in June while he is still being imprisoned.
