A THIRD person was remanded to prison yesterday after being accused of the fatal drive-by shooting of Roland Evans Jr on Adderley Street in August.

Police alleged that Anwar Ferguson, 22, and accomplices shot Evans Jr, 22, as he stood outside a residence around 10pm on August 3.

The suspects allegedly fled the scene in a gold Japanese vehicle. Evans Jr later died in the hospital.

Ferguson was charged with murder before Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley. He was not required to enter a plea, and the case will proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).

Ferguson’s co-accused were arraigned for the same charge in September.

He was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until his VBI is served on February 12, 2026. Ian Cargill represented the accused, while Inspector Deon Barr was the prosecutor.
