A 23-year-old man appeared on Monday before Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court to answer to the charge of possession of a firearm and ammunition.
It was alleged that on March 22 2025 at North East La Penitence Shaquille Cox had one Smith and Wesson 9mm pistol and 3 live rounds of 9mm ammunition without being the holder of a firearm licence.
He pled not guilty to the charge. The prosecution objected to bail stating that the defendant was found with the gun on his person in a black cross bag.
Attorney Dominick Bess told the court that his client was at a party where the police conducted a search. He added that while nothing was found on his client the gun was discovered under the car in which his client was in and that there are many persons willing to come forward to attest to this fact.
The matter was adjourned to April 28 2025 and bail was refused.
