A MAN has been remanded after allegedly killing a 24-year-old man on bail in a drive-by shooting in Nassau Village in May.
Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley yesterday charged Ringo Ellis, 26, with murder.
Ellis, and an accomplice, is accused of driving to Derren Bastian in a grey Japanese vehicle as the man stood outside a takeout window on Jackson Street on May 21. The accused then allegedly killed Bastian before driving from the scene.
At the time of his death, Bastian was on bail for armed robbery.
The accused was told that his matter would be moved to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). He will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services unless a higher court grants him bail. Before being taken into remand, Ellis was allowed a moment in court with his relatives.
His VBI is scheduled for service on February 8, 2024.
