Andre Gomez, who was charged with killing a bystander while firing at another person during an altercation outside Palm Court last month, has been freed.
When Gomez made his second appearance before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court 1 yesterday, Prosecutor Bharat Mangru made an application to have the charge withdrawn. He stated that the application was based on the advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). The court, in addition to this, heard that there was not enough evidence in relation to the matter.
The magistrate subsequently granted the application and dismissed the matter.
The charge against Gomez had stated that on May 10th, at Middle Street, Cummingsburg, he murdered Nigel Isaacs.
Isaacs, 39, of Guyhoc Gardens, succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital hours after he was admitted in an unconscious state. He was said to have been brain dead on admission.
No facts were presented in court but attorney Mark Waldron had previously told that court that the police were informed that someone attempted to rob Gomez, who ventured outside of the Palm Court to see what was transpiring before the shooting occurred.
