Last week, we told you about the shooting of 29 year-old James Elijio, a mentally challenged resident of Flamboyant Street. Well, tonight 19 year-old Joseph Lopez, and a 17 year-old boy are at prison after they were taken to court today.
Lopez and the minor were charged with attempted murder, dangerous harm, and use of deadly means of harm, and they were arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith. Due to the nature of the offences, they couldn't be granted bail, and they were remanded to prison until April 22, their next court date.
As we had reported, Elijio, who is mentally challenged, was urinating in the bushes behind his house when 2 men walked up Casaurina Street and opened fire on him. He was struck once behind the neck, but his injury was successfully treated at the KHMH.
