A 26-year-old man was remanded yesterday for allegedly killing Davinique Gray, a 16-year-old murdered while charging her phone at home in Nassau Village last month.
Gray was the eighth murder victim of the year. Her mother, Shinika Johnson, 41, was charged last month with harbouring a criminal in connection with her death.
Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr charged Keiron Butler with murder.
Alphonso Lewis represented the accused.
Ms Johnson allegedly allowed Gamaliel Gray to stay at her residence on Samson Street and Lawton Avenue in early January, knowing he was a fugitive for murder. Gray allegedly killed Gerrard Coakley on January 2.
Butler allegedly shot up Gray’s residence while she was inside on January 6, though police believe Gamaliel was the intended target.
Butler was told that his matter would be moved to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
His VBI is set for service on May 14.
