And while police have suspects in that case, today one man was charged for the New Year’s Day murder of Colin Sutherland.  The 22 year old was killed not far from his home in the Conch Shell Bay area.

Today, police charged 29 year old Daniel Cain, a Pinks Alley resident for the murder.  He appeared in court before the Chief Magistrate and was remanded into custody until March 17.

Sutherland was walking with friends on Youth For The Future Drive at 7:00 on New Year’s night when a gunman emerged from a parked car, ran down Sutherland, and opened fire, hitting him multiple times. He was shot in his chest, upper abdomen, back and upper thigh. Colin Sutherland was not known to be active in gangs but, earlier this month, his elder brother, Oliver, told us that the murder was orchestrated to hurt him:

"Well, to me, I think this is a set-up. And I think that it's my own friends too."

Daniel Ortiz, 7News
"Why do you think they waylaid him?"

Oliver Sutherland
"Because of jealousy. We came up from nothing to something, and people don't like that. He was my everything. He is my everything. I want them to see me good, how they got me grieving, bawling out, and moaning. I love my brother very much. That's my half. They know that it will eat me out, that's why they hurt him."
