‘I thought someone pranked me:’ victim of Nanaimo drive-by shooting testifies during attempted murder trial
NANAIMO — The man inside a car sprayed by bullets in a shocking Nanaimo drive-by shooting initially thought he was caught up in a prank.
Motaz Al harbi, 31, told his story on day four of the attempted murder trial for Armaan Singh Chandi who’s accused in the 2016 shooting.
Al harbi, who the Crown believes the victim of an apparent case of mistaken identity, left VIU just prior to the shooting to go home to eat prior to an exam that evening.
He testified hearing loud noises a few seconds after he parked his car on Wakesiah Ave. at Jingle Pot Rd.
