A 20 year old man has been charged in connection with the Courtenay and Coye law firm shooting. He is Victoria Street resident Sayeed Barona. He was charged with abetment to commit robbery when he appeared today before Magistrate Emerson Banner. Barona pleaded not guilty. He was offered a bail of $8,000 with one surety, which he met. His next court date is October 31st.
The incident happened last week Friday. Security guard 53 year old Lascelle Jeffords was on duty when two men emerged from a KIA sportage. One of them pointed a gun at him and demanded that he hand over his pistol. He refused and he and the gunman got into a struggle and Jeffords was shot to his stomach, but survived.
