Murderer's Remorse: Life Sentence for Teen Killer

Selene Tuayibi, a 30-year-old man, just got convicted of first-degree murder for killing 15-year-old Maryam Boundalli back on February 7, 2021 in St. Leonard. He also faces four counts of attempted murder from firing eight shots at a Volkswagen Jetta, where the girl was sitting as an innocent passenger. First-degree murder means an automatic license with no parole for 25 years, but prosecutors are pushing for four more concurrent life, terms on top. During Thursday's sentencing hearing in Montreal, the Crown laid out how Tuayibi acted with clear intent to kill amid a reckless shooting spree. He unloaded every bullet he had, even though the 15-year-old had zero ties to his beef. This all stemmed from a petty parking dispute between a hair salon owned by one family and a nearby grocery store owned by another, right on.

The judge heard Tuayibi apologize again to the family before wrapping up with the final sentence dropping later this month, keeping everyone waiting on how those extra terms shake out.
