Dakota Jackson Grey, 28, has been arrested after a man unlocking his bicycle at the Kingsway Mall was shot on Dec. 5. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Grey then allegedly carjacked a white GMC truck after pointing the firearm at the female driver who was alone in the vehicle. The female was able to get out of the truck and run into the mall for safety.

Police say Grey fled the parking lot in the stolen truck, striking a parked vehicle and continuing eastbound at a high rate of speed, before colliding with a building on the southeast corner of the traffic circle at 101 Street and 118 Avenue. He fled the scene on foot and was quickly arrested by police, who came across the collision on their way to respond to the incidents at Kingsway Mall. The suspect was found to be in possession of multiple rounds of ammunition, 27 grams of methamphetamine and a sawed-off shotgun.
Prior to Grey allegedly shooting the victim with the bike, he tried robbing a woman at Kingsway Mall, say Edmonton Police. At approximately 7:15 p.m. on Dec. 5, 2023, a woman was leaving the mall when she was approached by a masked man carrying a firearm. He tried to rob her but she ran to a nearby occupied vehicle and was let inside by the driver. The suspect then approached the vehicle and pointed the firearm at the male driver, who drove away and called 911.
Grey is charged with two counts of robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault, dangerous driving, failing to remain at the scene of a collision, possession of stolen property, nine other firearms-related charges and two breaches of release order.
At the time of the offences, Grey was on a release order for aggravated assault with a firearm, and has a lifetime firearms prohibition and a weapons prohibition.
