TWO MEN CHARGED with firearm offences were remanded to HMP Dodds until June 2 after appearing in the Holetown Magistrates Court today.
Amandeo Kephar Henderson Yearwood, 26, of No. 5 St Catherine Close, Haynesville, St James was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm and 17 rounds of ammunition.
Yearwood and 23-year-old Shomari Ayo Durant of No. 28 Oxnards Crescent, St James were jointly charged with wounding with intent and endangering life, and also had separate charges for the use of a firearm.
Just after midnight on May 3, a number of people were under a shed at Halls Village # No 2 in the same parish when a car came up the driveway. The occupants of the car got out and allegedly shot at the group, causing them to flee.
One person received gunshot injuries, and was hospitalised. Â
The police later detained the driver of the vehicle.
The following day, a search warrant was executed at Yearwood’s home and the gun and ammunition were found. (PR/SAT)
