A MAN was remanded to prison yesterday in connection with a shooting on Key West Street last month that left one man dead and another wounded.
Mario Cuffe, 21, represented by attorney Devard Francis, stood before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on charges of murder and attempted murder.
It is alleged that on December 30, 2022, at around 5pm Cuffe, being concerned with others, stopped on Key West Street in a grey Nissan vehicle. It is there they approached Travon Joseph, also known as Travon Rolle, 25, and Nelson Adderley, 27, and opened fire on them resulting in both men being shot multiple times.
Both victims were taken to hospital by private vehicle. Adderley was successfully treated for his wounds, but Joseph died in the early hours of New Year’s Eve.
Cuffe was not required to enter a plea in court yesterday. He was informed that his matter would proceed to the Supreme Court by way of a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
The accused was also told that while the chief magistrate lacked the jurisdiction to grant him bail, he had the right to apply for it through the higher court.
He will get his VBI on April 4.
