Nassau-Police have charged a man with murder in the fatal shooting of a teenager on May 5.

Nashon Rolle, 23, on May 15 appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt charged with the murder of 17-year-old Jason Joseph.

Police said that a lone gunman shot the teen multiple times as he bought breakfast in Rahming Street, Fox Hill.

The killer ran towards Cox Street, where he got into a white car.

Joseph, a Doris Johnson High School dropout, died at the scene.

Rolle, of Gladstone Road, did not have to enter a plea to the murder allegation.

He has been denied bail. Rolle next returns to court on September 16.

Prosecutors intend to fast-track his trial to the Supreme Court with a voluntary bill of indictment.

Rolle did not have a lawyer. He told the magistrate that his brother, Franklin Rolle Jr., was murdered at Blueberry Hill in Fox Hill in September 2019.

Because of this, Rolle said that he feared for his safety at the prison.
