The lacunar spinel compounds GaTi4-xNxS8 (0 {<} x {<} 4), consisting of Ti4-xVx tetrahedral clusters, were prepared and their structures were determined by powder X-ray diffraction. The electronic structures of GaTi4-xVxS8 (x = 0, 1, 2, 3) were examined by density functional calculations, and the electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility of these compounds were measured. Our calculations predict that GaTi3VS8 is a ferromagnetic half-metal, and this prediction was confirmed by magnetotransport experiments performed on polycrystalline samples of GaTi3VS8. The latter reveal a large negative magnetoresistance (up to 22\% at 2 K), which is consistent with the intergrain tunnelling magnetoresistance expected for powder samples of a ferromagnetic half-metal and indicates the presence of high spin polarization greater than 53\% in GaTi3VS8.
