Foulds, born in 1997, was formally charged on June 17 with two counts of first degree murder of Braxton Leask, 20, and Dylan Buckle, 20, and one count of attempted murder of Zane Hernandez.

All three victims of a shooting that occurred in Lund early in the morning of June 17 were from the Powell River area.

Court documents filed during Foulds' appearance Tuesday named defence counsel as Burnaby-based lawyer Paul McMurray and crown prosecutor as Campbell River-based lawyer David Fitzsimmons.

Foulds' next court appearance was set for Monday, July 24, at Campbell River Law Courts for a hearing to consult his counsel.

The appearance is expected to be brief and Foulds will appear by video, according to BC Prosecution Service, and the case will return to Powell River where all proceedings are expected to take place.
