Ellis Jr. Charged For Shooting Zimbab
Mon, November 24, 2014
Tonight, the well-know Ellis Meighan Jr. and another 17 year-old minor are prison after being accused by police of shooting Carlos "Zimbab" Abraham, a ranking member of George Street who was targeted in a broad daylight shooting on last week Thursday.

Meighan, who lives around the corner from where the shooting happened, and the minor were both arraigned today before Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith on the charges of attempted murder, dangerous harm, and use of deadly means of harm. Due to the nature of the offences, they couldn't be granted bail, and they have been remanded into custody until January 30, 2015.

As we told you last week, Abraham was on Lakeview Street at around 10 a.m. He was talking business with his Uncle. But, as we've reported, that's Ghost Town Territory, and even though Abraham grew up around there, he is still considered by his enemies to be an affiliate of George Street which has an ongoing rivalry with Ghost Town.

He told us that he was in his SUV when a gunman ambushed him and shot him from 6-8 feet away. He was injured in face and neck, and it was his quick thinking to stem the loss of blood, that allowed him to get to the KHMH, where the doctors managed to save his life.

Police continue to closely monitor the situation to try to deter any retaliation.
