Two Men Charged For Ladyville Murder
posted (July 23, 2020)

On Monday's newscast, we took you to Ladyville, in a neighbourhood near to the Mirage Road, that's become a sort of crime hot spot. That's where 22-year-old Egbert Baldwin was gunned down and mercilessly killed.

Up until last week Thursday, "Eggy" as he was also known, was on remand for 4 years, while he awaited trial for a May 2016 shoot-out which happened at the Lozano family home. While a group of young men was socializing in the family yard, located on Mirage road, a group of gunmen ambushed them, and a shoot-out occurred between rivals of 2 warring gang groups from that neighbourhood. After the gunshots ended, 3 men left injured, and 1 man was shot and killed.

Baldwin was charged with attempted murder for that shoot-out, but last week, he was acquitted in a trial without a jury. 2 days later, he was murdered, and tonight, the cops think that a member of the Lozano family was involved in his killing.

He's 19-year-old Camryn Lozano, a resident of #2B Marage Road. Lozano and 19-year-old Albert Gill, another Ladyville resident, have been jointly charged with Baldwin's murder. They will be arraigned and remanded to Prison at the earliest convenience. It is believed to be an act of revenge for a previous killing.
