He was not required to plea to the charge which alleges that on March 13, 2025, at Freeman Street, East La Penitence, Georgetown, he with intent to murder, unlawfully and maliciously wounded Seon Archibald.

The prosecution object to bail since the defendant and Archibald are from the same area. They added that there was a misunderstanding in relation to a missing phone. The defendant was armed with a firearm and fired several shots at Archibald and his family and as a result, Archibald was shot in his leg. The prosecution argued that if Dos Santos is released on bail, he is likely to commit the said offence again since he was previously charged with murder in 2017.

The defence was led by Attorney-at-law Kiswana Jefford, who told the court that Dos Santos can easily be found and he is sustaining a not guilty plea since he was not involved in the incident. She indicated that when her client learnt that he was wanted by the police, he willingly turned himself over. Magistrate McGusty after hearing the arguments remanded Dos Santos and the matter was adjourned until May 21, 2025.
