TWO MEN were remanded to prison on Thursday after they were accused of aiding and abetting in the double homicide at Potter’s Cay Dock in December.
Magistrate Samuel McKinney arraigned Jameko Wright, 26, and Nichalai Shetty, 25, on abetment to murder.
Wright solely faced two additional charges of possession of dangerous with intent to supply.
Wright faced a charge of possession of ammunition alongside Jacqueline Smith, 57, and Alric Neil, 47,
Wright and Shetty while in Okra Hill aided and abetted in the murders of Keith Allen Jr, 28, and Jeff Auguste, 24, on December 6, 2024.
The deceased were reportedly involved in a verbal altercation with suspects at a club on Okra Hill on the night of the shooting.
Allen and Auguste were ambushed and shot by two male suspects in a white Japanese vehicle as they exited a restaurant on East Bay Street in the early morning of December 6.
One of the victims was found slumped against a car near an exit road in Potter’s Cay Dock while the other was found laying in a parking lot near the eastern exit.
Allen, who was a father of two, was on bail at the time of his death as he was accused in the July 8 2018 murder of 30-year-old Shanindore Neely outside his home on Homestead Street.
Wright was reportedly found with one round .223 ammunition, 15 grams of amphetamines and 20 grams of marijuana on January 6 in New Providence.
Wright was the sole defendant to plead guilty to the drug and ammunition charges. The charges against his co-accused, who all pleaded not guilty, were withdrawn.
Wright was ordered to pay a total fine of $1,500 for these offenses or six months in prison for each charge.
Wright and Shetty were informed that they were not required to enter a plea to the abetment to murder charge. They were told that their matter would proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
The pair will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until their VBI is served on March 4.
Assistant Superintendent of Police K Bowles served as the prosecutor.
