A 19-year-old man accused of a fatal shooting in Fox Hill last week was remanded to prison yesterday.
Prosecutors allege that Teveras Cleare and an accomplice shot and killed Rashad Sullivan, 36, around 7pm on July 12.
The suspects reportedly exited a silver Nissan Cube while Sullivan was sitting in a yard with other men on Davis Street. They allegedly opened fire as Sullivan attempted to flee. He collapsed on Armbrister Street, where the suspects allegedly continued shooting him.
The suspects then returned to their vehicle and fled the scene.
Sullivan was taken to hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Cleare was allegedly found with a Smith & Wesson .40-calibre pistol and five rounds of ammunition on July 14.
Cleare was not required to enter a plea to the murder charge before Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr. However, he pleaded guilty to possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.
A 17-year-old boy, whose name is being withheld because he is a minor, pleaded not guilty to the firearm charges he shares with Cleare. He was arraigned in the presence of his guardian.
Cleandra Cleare, 37, pleaded not guilty to the same firearm charges last week.
Cleare was informed that the murder charge would proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment. He was also advised of his right to apply for bail in the Supreme Court.
The juvenile was granted $6,000 bail with one or two sureties.
Cleare returns to court on Thursday for sentencing on the firearm charges, when his two co-accused are also expected to appear.
His voluntary bill of indictment is scheduled to be served on November 19.Sergeant 3004 Forbes prosecuted the case.
