Brandon Carr in court over alleged shooting at Wavell Heights

“Go, go, go”: A woman has recalled the heart-stopping moment her lover allegedly rushed to the car she was driving, declaring “I just shot someone”.

Brandon George Carr.

A Sunshine Coast man has been committed to stand trial after he allegedly shot a man in Brisbane’s north.

Brandon George Carr, 27, of Woombye appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday, March 30 and was charged with a raft of offences including shooting a person and engaging in conduct likely to cause death.

Two of Carr’s alleged victims and his alleged getaway driver also appeared in court to share their version of what took place at Wavell Heights on January 14 last year.

The alleged getaway driver, who the court heard was involved in “some type of short-term intimate relationship” with Carr, said she had no knowledge of any plan when she got behind the wheel on the evening question.

The court heard she was cautioned but not charged over her involvement in the alleged incident.

She claimed she was directed by a person, who she could not name, to a house to pick up some people, including a “skinny guy” “with the average crackhead look”, and then to another place to collect someone else.

The young woman became teary in court on Thursday as she spoke about what transpired thereafter, after her passengers exited the car and approached a house.

“You were sitting in the car, listening to music, blissfully unaware about what was happening,” defence barrister Simon Lewis summarised from the woman’s statement.

“And then they come running back to the car and you had heard a loud bang, which you presumed to be a gunshot.

“They’re telling you to ‘go, go, go’, getting angry (because) you weren’t driving fast enough.”

The committal was heard in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday.

The woman said she did not see anyone holding a gun as the group ran back to the car, but she did recall Carr telling her had just shot someone.

“He said it to me,” she told the court.

“He said, ‘I just shot someone’.”

She said the first time she saw the gun was some time later, at a different location, when Carr pulled it from his pants.

The alleged victim of the shooting, Iain Cain, told the court his recovery was taking longer than originally expected as he had faced “a few extra challenges”.

Of the evening in question, Mr Cain said he left his home to investigate noises he heard outside. He claimed he turned a corner and ran straight into a man.

“So you’ve just gone ‘bang’ into each other,” Mr Lewis said.

“And at that stage you didn’t even realise you’d been hurt.

“And then you remember being hurt, looking down, and you had blood on your hands.”

Mr Cain said he had been “hit” in the front of his upper right thigh.

Magistrate Julian Noud considered the material and evidence before him before reading the charges that had been brought against Carr: entering a dwelling with intent while armed, robbing a man while armed, assaulting a man and causing him bodily harm while armed, striking a man with a projectile with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, striking Mr Cain with a projectile discharged from a shotgun with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, engaging in conduct – discharging a firearm – which was likely to cause the death of Mr Cain, and unlawfully using a car without consent of the owner.

Carr chose not to say anything in answer to the charges or enter a plea and was committed to stand trial in the District Court on a date to be determined.

He made no application for bail and was remanded in custody.
