Feuding men accused of shooting bystander

Nassau, BAHAMAS-Four men faced a magistrate today after a woman was wounded in the crossfire of a shootout.

Prosecutors say Valentino Maycock, 36, and Emmanuel Bain, 27, shot Cyprianna Minnis as she sat on the porch of her home in Dean Street on April 27.

Maycock and Bain, both of Dean Street, are charged with causing harm to Minnis after she was shot in the arm. Additionally, they are accused of assaulting Minnis with a deadly weapon.

The men denied the charges at their arraignment before Magistrate Kara Turnquest-Deveaux.

Meanwhile, Kevin Whyms, 30, of Parker Street, and a 17-year-old boy accused of shooting at Bain appeared in the same court.

However, Bain told the court that he no longer wanted to pursue the case.

As a result, the assault with a deadly weapon charges against them were dismissed.
