TWO men were convicted on Friday of murdering a 26-year-old trainee immigration officer who was shot while driving in Victoria Gardens in 2021.
After hours of deliberation, a nine-member jury unanimously found Braheem Charlton and Demargio Lockhart guilty of the murder of Lanisha Armbrister and the attempted murder of Drazen Dean, who was injured in the same shooting.
The shooting happened on August 14, 2021. The gunmen reportedly fled the scene in an SUV.
Both men were silent as the verdict was read, as were their relatives. After proceedings, Charlton expressed confusion over the verdict to his attorney, Damian White.
Charlton’s mother, Cheryl Charlton, had previously claimed her son was at home all day at the time of the murder.
Seated on the opposite side of the courtroom, a member of Armbrister’s family thanked God for the verdict. Mr White asked Justice Neil Brathwaite for probation reports for his clients.
The men were remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
And they will return to court for sentencing on January 28, 2027.
Bradford McKenzie and Brent McNeil prosecuted.
