Police in Grenada are still on the hunt for the actual person or people who caused the death of one man and injured another during the carnival Monday shooting in an influential residential community. They have since charged one man who they accused of assisting those responsible for the country’s 16th homicide — Delvon Thomas.
The homeowner where the incident occurred was hospitalised, due to gunshots he received to his hand. Police have yet to disclose his name publicly.
“Officers attached to the Criminal Investigations Department arrested and charged Yohance Charles, 22 years old of Woburn, St George, in connection with last Monday’s shooting incident at Egmont, St George,” said a news release from the Community Relations Department (CRD) of the Royal Grenada Police Force.
Charles, who made his first appearance in court on Monday, 21 August is facing several charges, including abetment as well as violation of the Firearm and Drug Abuse (Prevention and Control) Acts. He was charged with the offences of Abetment of Capital Murder, Abetment to Attempt to Commit Capital Murder, Possession of a Controlled Drug, and Possession of Ammunition. He was remanded to prison and is scheduled to return to court on 8 September.
Well done to the RGPF on their progress with this case as the island was watching and waiting to see what unfold.
Grenadian are accustomed to quick public announcements weither it is factual or not, it will be on one network platform.
So I am very pleased that progress is taking place.
