Barber remanded for discharging firearm
Kaieteur News- A 22-year-old barber was on Monday charged with two counts of discharging a loaded firearm in Charlestown, Georgetown.
Shakeem David
The defendant, Shakeem David of Albouystown, Georgetown appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore.
David was charged for discharging a firearm at Matthew Layne and Deandre Linton on March 20, 2025 at Alleyne and Sussex Streets Charlestown, Georgetown.
He pleaded not guilty.
The prosecution told the court that the defendant is no stranger to the law noting that he has a pending robbery under arm matter before the court for which he is on bail. The prosecution made it clear that David allegedly committed the crime while on bail for another offence.
However, David’s’ attorney assured the court of her client’s innocence while stating that at the time of the incident her client was not there. She submitted that David was in the area before the shooting occurred.
Further, the attorney told the court that persons in the community heard a firearm being discharged but nobody saw her client doing so.
After listening to the attorneys, Magistrate Azore remanded David to prison until March 31, 2025.
