Detectives from Greater Manchester Police’s Major Incident Team have charged a man in connection with a shooting on Shaw Road, Oldham, which occurred on Thursday 16 January 2025.
Ethan Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere, 23, faces two charges of attempted murder, a section 18 assault charge, and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere has been remanded in custody and is to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on 22 January 2025.
Seven others, including three juveniles, an 18-year-old man, a 19-year-old man, a man in his 20s, and a man in his 40s, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. They have since been released on bail as investigations continue.
Officers have recovered a firearm linked to the incident, which is now undergoing forensic analysis.
The victim, an 18-year-old man, sustained serious injuries and remains in hospital in a stable condition. Police inquiries are ongoing.
Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley from the Major Incident Team said: “Our investigation has been meticulous since the incident happened on Thursday, which has now led to us charging one of the eight males we arrested over the weekend.
“Whilst most firearms incidents are targeted and do not pose a threat to the wider public, we know the fear and anxiety these incidents cause amongst our communities.
“We have seized at total of 304 firearms since 2021, underlining our ongoing commitment to rid the streets of these weapons, ensuring those who live and work in Greater Manchester feel safe.”
