A long list of charges were laid against the 19-year-old, including:
Aggravated assault;
Discharging a firearm with intent;
Transporting a restricted firearm;
Possession of a dangerous weapon;
Carrying a concealed weapon;
Unauthorized possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle;
Possession of a loaded restricted firearm;
Possession of weapon obtained by crime;

Breach of a weapons prohibition order (x3);

Tilahun remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
His arrest and the subsequent charges stem from an incident that occurred on Feb. 11, around 3 a.m., in a parking lot in the 600 block of 10 Avenue S.W.
