Moses Babb, From Hospital, to Courtroom, To Jail
posted (September 22, 2017)
A suspect has been charged for the Aaron King shooting that took place at a house on Sunday night in the Buttonwood Bay area. Today, Moses Babb - who was also shot - went from the hospital to court and appeared before Magistrate Aretha Ford and was charged with attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and kept firearm without a license. He pled not guilty to the firearm offense - and no plea was taken for the other two charges because those will be dealt with at the Supreme Court.

Because it is a firearm offense, no bail was offered and he was remanded until November 27th.

King was shot at a birthday party when 2 men went looking for him. He was standing with two friends when a man on bicycle pulled out a gun and shot King twice in the chest, and once in the shoulder.

That alleged gunman was Babb, and a party-goer shot him in the stomach with his licensed weapon.
