A MAN was remanded into custody yesterday after he was accused of shooting 34-year-old father Valentino Bowe dead outside a bar on Windsor Place Road and Soldier Road earlier this month.

Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville arraigned Percival Paul, 25, on charges of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

One of Paul’s accomplices, Dontray Cooper, 25, was arraigned for the same charges last week.

Paul and accomplices allegedly shot and killed Bowe as was drinking with friends outside a bar at 9pm on September 2. 

Paul also allegedly shot and injured 35-year-olds Ian Farrington and Foster Rolle at the same bar. Mr Farrington and Mr Rolle allegedly suffered injuries to their arm and legs respectively but were successfully treated in hospital.

Bowe was pronounced dead at the scene. He was the father of two young children.

Paul was informed his matter would proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). 

The accused will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until service of his VBI on February 11, 2025.
