GUN SUSPECT CHARGED IN TRIPLE SHOOTING THAT KILLED ONE

A Nassau man arrested after police allegedly found him with an assault rifle has been charged with a shooting that left one dead and two others injured.

Prosecutors say that 21-year-old Tarrico Bowleg, of Joan’s Drive, is responsible for the August 13 murder of Keion Butler and the attempted murders of Marvin Tilme and Chavez Thompson at Amos Ferguson Street.

Bowleg, who denied the firearm possession charge last week, was not required to enter a plea to the murder and attempted murder charges when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on Tuesday, August 27.
He has been denied bail and returns to court in October.
Police said the victims were in a yard when two gunmen arrived in a silver car and opened fire on them.
