A MAN accused of fatally shooting Ricardo Jean after he was lured outside his Adelaide Village home earlier this month was remanded to prison last Friday.
Prosecutors allege that Darrio Wilson, 30, shot Jean, 35, in the chest after Jean stepped outside his residence at around 1am on January 11, when a man known to him called him outside.
Jean reportedly managed to flee back inside his home, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Police allege that both the shooter, who fled the scene on foot, and the man who called Jean outside were known to the deceased.
Wilson, who remained silent in court, was not required to enter a plea to the charge of murder when he appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Shaka Serville.
The defendant was informed that the matter will proceed to the Supreme Court by way of a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI) and that he has the right to apply for bail through the higher court.
Wilson was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until May 7, when his VBI is expected to be served.
Ryszard Humes represented the accused, while Inspector Cordero Farrington prosecuted the matter.
