Paroled gunman charged with teen shooting and home invasion stabbing

Salcedo allegedly shot a teenager on October 9. He stabbed a man on August 9 while on parole for a previous shooting.

Reece Anthony Salcedo is 29 years old. He was on parole when he allegedly shot a teenager in October and stabbed a man in August.

These were separate incidents. Salcedo had served time for shooting two people during a home invasion almost 10 years ago.

One victim was a 13-year-old girl. He had been on parole for about three and a half months when the August attack happened.

On October 9, Salcedo allegedly fired at a Ford carrying teenagers. A bullet hit one passenger in the lower back.

This caused serious injury. On August 9, Salcedo allegedly broke into a Lyneham home with two others.

He stabbed a man in the head and shot him in the leg. He faces charges including attempted murder, aggravated burglary and firearms offences.

He has pleaded not guilty to using a firearm to endanger life.
