A MAN is behind bars after allegedly shooting and killing a 57-year-old grandmother and injuring her four-year-old grandson as they were driving in Lily of the Valley last week.
Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley charged Jameson Jacob, 27, with murder and three counts of attempted murder.
Jacob is accused of ambushing and shooting Renee Gray as she was driving with relatives in a grey Japanese vehicle on Lily of the Valley Corner on January 11.
The driver evaded the assailant and drove to Quakoo Street Police Station. The victims were taken to the hospital, where Mrs Gray died of her injuries, and her grandson, Adonai Moss, was successfully treated for injuries to his head. Ideana Moss and Lagina Barr were also in the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
The accused was told that the 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 until the higher court grants him bail.
Jacob’s VBI is due for service on February 1.
