A MAN was remanded into custody yesterday after being accused of attempting to kill three family members outside a clothing store on Farrington Road last month.
Jamal Miller, 40, was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley on three counts of attempted murder and three counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Prosecutors allege that on March 28, the defendant got into an altercation with Demars Woodside. After Wayne Woodside intervened to break up the fight between Miller and his son, the accused allegedly fired a gun at both men, as well as family matriarch Julia Woodside.
Wayne Woodside was shot in the arm and treated successfully in hospital.
Miller was not required to enter a plea at this stage. He was told his case would be transferred to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI) and informed of his right to apply for bail in the higher court.
He will be held at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until his VBI is potentially served on June 12.
Miller was represented by Alphonso Lewis. Inspector Deon Barr served as the prosecutor.
