Link copiedShareShare articleA 17-year-old girl has been charged with attempted murder after a man was shot at North Lakes, north of Brisbane.
Emergency services were called to a car park on Lakefield Drive about 9:40pm on Monday to reports a man had been shot in the arm, impacting his chest.
Queensland Police said the 42-year-old was shot after an interaction with a group of four people, who they will allege were three men and a teenage girl.
He was taken to Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
"A crime scene was declared and investigations led police to arrest a teenage girl in Riverview around 2am this morning," Queensland Police said in a statement.
A 17-year-old Windsor girl has been charged with one count each of attempted murder, possessing dangerous drugs, unlawful possession of weapons and authority required to possess explosives.
The matter was briefly mentioned in the Ipswich Childrens Court this afternoon, where the matter was adjourned to the Brisbane Childrens Court next Tuesday.
The girl, who remains in custody, is expected to apply for bail on that date.
"The three men, who police believe were also allegedly involved in the incident, remain outstanding, however investigations indicate there is no threat to public safety," Queensland Police said.
Police have seized an Audi Q5 which they believe was driven by the alleged offenders.
Investigations are ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact the police.

“These two stores are consistently high performers in the business
Most recently our Carindale store opened in December and broke brand records in its first two months of trading
The Westfield centre is a go-to hub for residents in the Moreton Bay Region
so equally we see our new store in North Lakes being a key growth driver for the business.”

Queensland judge finds 18-year-old guilty of burglary and assault occasioning bodily harm in 2022 home invasion
A teenager who broke into the home of Emma Lovell, alongside another teen who stabbed her to death
has been found not guilty of murder in a case that shocked Queensland in December 2022
the now 18-year-old – who cannot be named for legal reasons as he was 17 on the night Lovell was killed – was also found not guilty of manslaughter and not guilty of malicious act with intent
He was found guilty of one count of burglary by break in the night in company
and one count of assault occasioning bodily harm in company
Lovell was murdered by the teenager’s companion on the lawn outside her North Lakes home
Her husband, Lee Lovell
was also stabbed twice in the back and kicked in the head in the attempted robbery
The teenager is being remanded in custody while a pre-sentencing report is prepared by the Queensland youth justice department and will be sentenced by Justice Michael Copley on 4 December

Last month he pleaded not guilty to four charges
including murder and assault occasioning bodily harm
Due to the high-profile nature of the case
the murder trial was held before a judge rather than a jury
with Justice Copley alone determining the man’s fate
dressed in a pressed white button-up shirt and grey pants
did not speak and kept his emotions contained as the judge delivered his verdict
who was largely composed throughout last month’s trial
which he said robbed his late wife of justice
so I’ve just got to suck it up,” he told reporters outside court
who testified and was present throughout the trial
was asked if he would return for the sentencing
“I feel like I’m slightly wasting my time coming along for a burglary charge,” he said

“We’re the ones with the life sentence,” he said.
No reasons have yet been given for the latest verdict.
the defence barrister Laura Reece argued that CCTV footage did not prove beyond reasonable doubt that her client knew his companion was carrying a knife throughout the evening in which they roamed the streets of Brisbane’s outer northern suburbs with at least two others
The crown prosecutor David Nardone himself had conceded a murder conviction rested entirely upon the fact that the accused knew his companion was armed
He told the court that CCTV footage showed it was “unavoidable” that the accused saw his companion’s blade and
given the two teenagers had already formed a common purpose to steal from the Lovell home
he was therefore “jointly liable for possession of the knife”
But Reece argued during the trial that the infrared footage used as evidence against her client did not show him looking in the direction of the blade held by his companion and did not accurately reflect the gloom
even if he did know his companion was armed
audio and video captured of the violent melee showed her client exhorting him to stop his violence and flee the scene
Cruiseabout celebrated the grand opening of its fourth store yesterday at Westfield Carindale in Brisbane yesterday
Cruiseabout is set to double its business in 2025
including its first in New South Wales at Narellan and a third Queensland store in North Lakes
Cruiseabout GM Brad Kennedy said the opening was the perfect way to close an exceptional first year of operations
“Next year will see further growth as we effectively double the size of our current business by welcoming our first New South Wales store in Narellan before a third Queensland store at North Lakes,” he said
Cruiseabout celebrates opening of its first store in Adelaide
“Cruising remains the fastest growing sector in the travel industry
so we know we are investing in a strong future for this brand,” Kennedy continued
“Our goal for 2025 is to continue matching our customers with their perfect cruise and showing more Australians why cruising is one of the best types of holidays
“We’ll be looking to welcome a contingent of cruise specialists to the team over the coming months
so I’d encourage anyone looking for a new opportunity to reach out and keep an eye on the exciting developments to come
“We have an incredible team of Cruiseaders and I have to thank all of them for their commitment to our business over the past year
there really has never been a more exciting time to work in the cruise industry.”
Team Leader of the new Carindale store Kelsey McColl said is looking forward to being part of the expansion
“I’ve been working in Flight Centre stores across Queensland for eight years and am excited to take on a new challenge at Cruiseabout,” she said
Flight Centre Travel Group (Cruiseabout’s parent company) has seen a 20 per cent uplift in cruise booking value year-on-year and has cited cruise as a strategic growth priority across its global offering

Accused teenager’s lawyer argues that while he may be found guilty of breaking into North Lakes home
he should be acquitted of murder and assault
The fate of an alleged accomplice in the December 2022 stabbing murder of Emma Lovell that shocked Queensland now rests in the hands of a judge after a three-day trial ended on Wednesday
Prosecutors did not argue that the accused teenager – who cannot be named for legal reasons as he was 17 years old on the night Lovell died of a stab wound to the chest on the front lawn of her home in North Lakes
north of Brisbane’s CBD – ever wielded that fatal knife
including murder and assault occasioning bodily harm on Monday
But crown prosecutor David Nardone said CCTV footage which captured the two-minute and 16-second struggle between Emma
also clearly revealed the accused’s companion showing – or even offering him – the 11.5cm serrated blade as the pair stood poised at the front door
Given the two teenagers had already formed a common purpose to steal from the brick bungalow
the fact it was “unavoidable” that the accused saw his companion’s blade meant he was
“jointly liable for possession of the knife”
“The killing was a probable consequence of the unlawful purpose to steal property from the dwelling while armed with a knife,” Nardone told Justice Michael Copley KC in his closing submission on Tuesday afternoon
“The liability [of the accused] arises as either an aider or an encourager of the act completed by [his companion].”
But the prosecutor conceded a murder conviction rested entirely upon the fact that the accused knew his companion was armed
Defence barrister Laura Reece argued that the CCTV footage did not prove beyond reasonable doubt that her client did
see a knife that his companion may have been concealing in a Calvin Klein satchel bag throughout the evening in which they roamed the streets of Brisbane’s outer northern suburbs with at least two other companions
Reece argued the infrared CCTV footage which the prosecution claimed showed the accused’s companion holding the knife centimetres from his face did not accurately reflect the gloom in the Lovell’s door well
which was not fully captured in the footage
was not looking in the direction of the blade
or may have had the knife in peripheral vision
but only in peripheral vision – and only for a short period of time,” she said
that he in fact turned his face towards the knife at any point.”
even if the pair had formed a common intention to steal while armed
the evidence also proved her client withdrew that consent by attempting to prevent his companion’s violence
Earlier Tuesday afternoon the prosecution had attempted to match audio taken from a neighbour’s CCTV with the Lovell’s vision-only footage to argue “logic demanded” that it was the accused’s companion who uttered the words “I’ll kill you
I’ll kill you too” during the violent struggle on the front lawn
contended the word “too” was not clearly discernible and that
the audio also captured her client saying words to the effect of “nah bra” immediately afterwards
She played a clip which appeared to show her client running over to his companion kicking Lee Lovell as he lay on the ground
View image in fullscreenLee Lovell talks to the media outside the supreme court of Queensland in Brisbane. Photograph: Darren England/AAP“Stop, stop, stop,” she contends her client exhorted his companion at this point.
The pair then fled the scene, leaving both Emma and Lee Lovell slumped upon their lawn – he stabbed and beaten, she with her head in her knees, fatally wounded.
Nardone had argued the purpose of bringing a knife to the home invasion could only have been to use it “should a confrontation arise”, either to scare off a person “or in fact to cause them serious harm so as to escape”.
He conceded that the actions of both teenagers captured by the CCTV “suggest that their motivation was to escape” the scene once the Lovells’ dogs alerted them to the intruders and they confronted the pair.
“That was not able to be easily achieved by [the accused] because of the persistence of Mr and Mrs Lovell during that confrontation,” the prosecutor said. “Failing to make good his escape the actions of [his companion] involve using the knife to penetrate Mrs Lovell’s body. The location of that penetration was in a position where it would achieve most harm.
said that although it appeared that Lee Lovell – who told the court on Monday it had been his intention to detain the intruders until police arrived – was attempting to put her client in a headlock
kicked Lee after he was dazed and prone and after – he would later learn – he had been stabbed
demonstrating that her client’s companion had now entered “the realms of gratuitous violence”
So even if there had been a shared intention of “meting out violence to make good an escape”
her client’s words and actions demonstrated he had withdrawn from any such “common plan”
“He did not use violence himself to the Lovells after breaking free from Mr Lovell,” she said of her client
“He cannot at any time be heard to encourage [his companion] to use a knife or force of any kind and
the evidence is in fact quite the opposite
“That he reacted when he heard the threats to kill and that he acted when he saw [his companion] kick Mr Lovell on the ground.”
While she argued her client may be found guilty of breaking into the Lovell’s home
he ought be found not guilty of the charges of murder and assault
with Justice Copley alone to determine the verdict
Garda Property Group has sold an industrial investment worth 22 per cent of its local portfolio
The funds through deal for the North Lakes business park (artist’s impression
top) with an ESR managed fund is worth $114 million – a touch lower than the recently completed valuation of the built-out project ($116.8m)
it still reflects a windfall for Garda which outlaid $16m for the 25 hectare land making way for the site in June
Another $11.2m is being spent on infrastructure works
Following settlement – which needs Foreign Investment Review Board approval with the parties expecting any settlement at least five months from now – Garda will repay all variable debt and reduce its gearing from 36pc to 22pc
The deal comes after a more devastating in Melbourne’s Burnley earlier this year – where nearby offices in the Botanicca business park traded for a dramatic discount to book value and previous campaign asking prices
North Lakes will contain c100,000 sqm of net lettable area
“When fully developed…it will be one of Queensland’s leading industrial estates an we are disappointed not to be developing it out,” managing director
However he added “the scale…is simply too large for Garda to deliver in the current environment”
“This transaction places Garda into a strong financial position…our owners should benefit from any improvement in the property markets or broader economic conditions and we also have scope to be opportunistic in the event of continued weakness” according to the executive
The manager will wear capital gains tax on the deal
Unitholders will receive a one-off special distribution following it
North Lakes is about 26 kilometres north of Brisbane’s CBD

The grieving husband of a mother-of-two who was fatally stabbed in the chest after a violent home invasion says a co-accused second teenager should face the same punishment as her murderer
A trial for an 18-year-old charged over the death of North Lakes mother Emma Lovell
with Justice Michael Copley set to decide the verdict in the coming weeks
after a judge ruled members of the community would be influenced by the debate over youth crime
with proceedings held the same week as the Queensland election
Emma Lovell was killed and her husband was injured during the confrontation at their North Lakes home
who was 17 at the time and cannot be named for legal reasons
earlier this week pleaded not guilty to four charges against him
Lee Lovell told the trial he bolted to his bedroom door on the night of Boxing Day
before he and his wife struggled with them to get them out
Lovell said he hoped the second teenager would be given 14 years’ jail
“The first time ’round you didn’t really get the outcome which we thought we were going to get,” he said

“It’s hard to not turn into this bitter grieving husband
and he and his daughters had been through a difficult time
and being a parent and trying to manage everything else
there’s not a great deal of time to grieve Emma,” he said
“Last year [over the Christmas period] I went away because I didn’t want to face it
but this year my brother and wife are coming over.”
Lovell said many had asked how he contained his anger while sitting in the same room as the accused killer’s family
so I’m not going to sit there and want to attack people
Lovell said he hoped Copley would be fair in his decision
the judge said he would deliver verdicts “as soon as possible”
The prosecution said the pair had broken into the Lovell home with a common intention to steal
The court was shown video of the primary offender appearing to place a knife directly in front of the second teen’s face
which prosecutors said meant the accused was aware of the weapon before entering the house
The defence team submitted the teenager on trial was not guilty of murder because he did not know the other teenager had a knife
They argued he only partially turned at the time
and that a camera capturing the incident was operating in infrared
meaning the scene was much darker to human eyes
Lee Lovell told the trial on the night of Boxing Day
Lovell said he hoped the second teenager would be given 14 years\\u2019 jail
