A MAN was granted bail by the Supreme Court yesterday in connection with the alleged murder of a man he says killed his brother.
Brandon Evans, 28, stood before Justice Cheryl Grant Thompson for bail determination on a charge of murder.
Evans is accused of being involved in the death of Andy Johnson on October 7 at a Farmer’s Market on Baillou Hill Road South. According to police reports, Evans, wearing a camouflage jacket, approached Johnson at the western end of the market, before shooting him multiple times.
Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS and the suspect fled in a dark Nissan Cube.
At the time of his death Johnson was on bail, charged with the 2019 murder of Brian Evans Jr, the defendant’s brother.
After reviewing the details in his case, including the report that the defendant had suffered blackouts while on remand and his mother claimed that he was abused in prison, the justice granted his bail request.
He was granted $9,900 bail with two sureties on condition he is fitted with an electronic monitoring device. The accused is required to sign in at his local station every Monday to Friday.
Before being released, he was warned not to go before the court for any further infractions before his trial.
