A MAN is behind bars after he allegedly gunned down a 21-year-old man on his porch in Kennedy Subdivision this spring.
Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley charged Alfred Coakley, 22, with murder.
Coakley and his accomplice, both armed with handguns, allegedly shot Demetrius Butler on his porch on Lily-Way in Kennedy Subdivision on April 26. Although Butler attempted to run inside his house from his assailants, he collapsed and was later pronounced dead at the scene.
The defendant was told that his matter would be transferred to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). Coakley will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the higher court grants him bail.
Coakley’s VBI is set for service on February 29, 2024.
