On Monday he was charged with kept a firearm without a license and today he was charged for robbery. When he appeared before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford, Montero pleaded not guilty. He was denied bail and returned into remand - where he had been from Monday.
The minors - who police shot - have already been charged and gotten bail because of their injuries.
Their mothers are claiming their sons were shot while they were already detained and hand-cuffed on the ground. Today we spoke to the 16 year old's mother who told us that their attorney Dickie Bradley has officially lodged a complaint against the police for alleged use of excessive force. This 16 year old had a wound to his head, and was shot to the testicles. His mother told us he is making progress but remains bedridden as a result of his injuries. The 17 year old was shot on the foot and his leg, and had a couple of other bruises on the head and lip and grazes on his arm.
Deputy Commissioner Chester Williams said they were caught int he commission of a serious crime - and are lucky to be alive.
