THREE men were remanded after they allegedly attempted to kill someone and engaged police in a shootout in Yellow Elder Gardens last Friday.
Police reportedly found the same men with four high-powered weapons after their arrest.
Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley charged Brian Gray, 31, Patreco Ramsey, 23, and Chando King, 26, with three counts of attempted murder.
The trio faced four counts of possession of an unlicensed firearm and two counts of possession of ammunition.
The trio allegedly tried to kill Jessie McQueen, Meko Major and DC 3569 Kenrick Brown.
Police responded to calls of gunfire in the Major Road area on the night of October 27. When they arrived, they found a 30-year-old male suffering from gunshot wounds in his leg. The armed accused reportedly fled west on East Storr Court before being arrested by authorities after a gunfight.
Four weapons were seized in the incident, including a black and purple 9mm SCCY pistol, a black 9mm Taurus pistol, a black and silver KAHR 9mm pistol and a black assault rifle. Seventeen rounds of 9mm ammunition were also confiscated at the scene.
The accused were told their case would be moved to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). They will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the higher court grants them bail.
The VBIs in this matter are set for service on April 4, 2024.
