Hamilton man with history of gun crimes, including being shot twice, faces charges
A 26-year-old Hamilton man — who has survived being shot twice and was also twice convicted in connection with shootings — is facing new gun and drug charges. Hamilton police major drugs and gangs unit searched a residence and vehicle in Hamilton's east end on Thursday, police said. Detectives seized a loaded Glock 22 handgun, 26 rounds of ammunition, about 35 grams of suspected fentanyl, along with codeine and hydromorphone pills, C$1,740 and US$170. Donavan Hines , 26, and a 24-year-old woman were arrested and jointly charged with firearm, drug and proceeds of crime offences. Hines faces four further charges of possession contrary to an order, because he is already prohibited by the courts for life from possessing weapons. Loaded gun seized from east-end Hamilton search where Donavan Hines, 26, was arrested and charged. The Spectator has previously reported on Hines, who was shot in a gunfight during broad daylight on July 28, 2021 that left him with paralysis. He was still in a wheelchair in August 2023 when he was convicted in that shooting. Hines also survived being shot at in a drive-by shooting at Mohawk Road East, east of Upper James Street, in October 2020. And was convicted of robbery in another, earlier shooting. In the brazen July 2021 shooting Hines was shot eight times by a masked gunman around 5:10 p.m. A then 23-year-old Hines was shot while sitting in a black BMW parked behind a restaurant on Oak Avenue at Barton Street East. Video showed Hines indiscriminately firing retaliatory shots, despite people being out on the street and sitting on nearby porches. 'Quite frankly we're just lucky nobody died to as a result of this,' Ontario Court Justice Michael Wendl said while sentencing Hines to four years. Donavan Hines, in a photo from a 2018 Hamilton police release, is facing new gun and drug charges. Hines pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm and breaching a weapons prohibition order in that case. After credit for pretrial custody he had about 11 months left on his sentence, which would have concluded last summer. Hines also pleaded guilty to robbery in another shooting in March 2018 at Emerald Street North at Barton Street East. In that case a 20-year-old, who Hines new from high school, was shot in the neck during an attempted robbery. 'The Hamilton Police Service remains committed to removing illegal firearms and dangerous drugs from our streets,' police said in a release about the latest gun and drug charges.
