Akeem, Accused Killer
posted (March 5, 2015)
18 year-old Akeem Trapp was also remanded to prison today after he was taken to court for murder. He is being accused of KILLING 21 year-old Ian Adolphus Jr. last week Wednesday.

Viewers may remember that Adolphus' murder tripped off the spike in violence last week after a month of calm, and since then, as we've shown you, a string of other shootings and murders have followed that incident.

Trapp was arraigned today before Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith on the charge of murder, and due to the nature of the offence, he was remanded into custody until April 23.

AS we reported, Ian Adolphus was shot on last week Wednesday at around 9:30 a.m. He was walking on Freedom Street and when he reached its intersection with Justice Street he was approached by a male person riding a bicycle who fired several shots at him. Adolphus was shot in his arm, chest and elbow. He was admitted to ward at KHMH where he succumbed to his injuries the following day.
