AN 18-year-old was charged yesterday in connection with a fatal shooting on Key West Street earlier this month.
Antwan Adderley stood before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on charges of murder and and attempted murder while being concerned with others.
According to police reports, on February 14 at around 2.30pm it is alleged that Adderley, with another male, armed with a high-powered rifle and a handgun, got out of a vehicle on Key West Street. There, it is said, the pair opened fire on Gordon McKenzie and Ingramson Toussaint as they sat outside in the yard.
While both victims in this matter were taken to hospital for gunshot injuries, McKenzie died later the same day.
Due to the gravity of the offence, Adderley was not required to enter a plea. The judge did not have the jurisdiction to grant bail, however the accused can apply for it in the Supreme Court. He was sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until then.
He is expected to be presented with a voluntary bill of indictment to fast track the case to the Supreme Court on April 18.
