The defendant in the shooting incident has been identified as 25-year-old Kadeem Andrews, a resident of Crane Housing Scheme, WCD and made his first court appearance on Tuesday at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Zamilla Ali-Seepaul.
Andrews was charged with discharging a firearm with intent and reportedly plead not guilty to the allegation leveled against him. He is expected to make his next court appearance on June 17, 2022.
According to police reports Andrews had allegedly used a handgun to shoot at Ricardo Poloram, a patron at Eclipse Bar around 02:30hrs on Sunday.
