NASSAU- A man out on bail for murder has been charged with a shooting that left a man seriously injured.
Prosecutors say 20-year-old Mauricio Webster, while being concerned with another, tried to kill 28-year-old Adam Newbold.
He was at an area on East Street, known as the Big Yard, when he was ambushed by two gunmen on December 18.
Newbold was shot in the abdomen and legs.
Webster didn’t have to enter a plea to the attempted murder charge when he appeared before Magistrate Samuel McKinney on December 28 and denied bail.
He returns to court on March 31 to receive a voluntary bill of indictment.
Webster was fined $3,000 in the same court after he admitted to breaching the terms of his bail for December 23, 2020 murder of Bradley Strachan Jr at Peter Street.
Webster failed to charge his electronic monitoring device five times this month.
If he doesn’t pay the fine, Webster will have to serve a six-month prison term instead. He was also placed on probation for 18 months and will be liable to one year in prison for breaching its terms.
