London, Ont. -
A bail hearing got underway Monday for Carlos Guerra Guerra, 20, one of the three people charged in connection with the death of 18-year-old Josue Silva.
Silva was shot to death during a field party in southwest London in the early morning hours of July 31.
London police had responded to a large gathering in the area of Pack Road and Grand Oak Cross shortly after 1 a.m. and found Silva suffering from a serious gunshot wound. He was later pronounced deceased in hospital.
Guerra Guerra is appearing for the hearing via Zoom from the South West Detention Centre near Windsor.
A ban on publication has been placed on the proceedings. The bail hearing is slated to take place over the next three days.
Guerra Guerra is charged with second-degree murder and assault with a weapon along with Dylan Schapp, 19, and Emily Altmann, 19, who face the same counts.
Altmann was released on bail last month but is under house arrest, among other restrictions.
