A 25-year old man has been sentenced to life in prison after a 2020 fatal shooting in Saugeen First Nation.
In December 2023, Austin Cubitt was convicted of the second-degree murder of 37 year old Clarence Solomon, whom Cubitt shot in the back on September 6th 2020, after Solomon knocked on Cubitt’s door looking for the previous resident of the property.
Solomon, a father of three and a member of the Chippewas of Nawash from Neyaashiinigmiing, died as a result.
Cubitt was sentenced March 5th and cannot apply for parole for ten years.
