NASSAU-A 33-year-old man accused of witness tampering has been denied bail.
Tenaj Thompson, of Coconut Grove, allegedly tried to convince a man whose stolen car was used in an attempted murder not to testify.
Prosecutors allege that Thompson approached Terrance Williamson on June 16 with an offer not to appear in court.
Thompson, who was multiple convictions for car theft, denied the charge of corruption of a witness on Tuesday.
Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis refused bail. He set the matter for trial in October.
Prosecutors allege that Derinardo Mott, 26, stole Mr. Williamson’s 2002 Honda Fit from the Southwest Plaza on June 15.
Two days later, Mott allegedly used the stolen car in a near fatal shooting in Fox Hill.
Prosecutors say that Mott emerged from the stolen Honda Fit and shot Antoine Williamson multiple times.
The shooting left Mr. A Williamson in critical condition at hospital.
Mott is also accused of possession of a handgun to endanger the life of Kadisha Rolle, who was with Mr. A. Williamson at the time of the shooting.
