NASSAU-A Pinewood Gardens resident accused of a triple shooting that killed a 10-year-old girl is behind bars.
Delanzo Cartwright Jr, of Avocado Street, faced two counts of murder and one count of murder when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt today.
The charges stem from a May 29 shooting at Iguana Way in BelAir Estates that resulted in the death of Perron Bain, 33, and Lorencia Walkes, 10.
Police said three gunmen emerged from a gold car and opened fire, striking three people.
Bain died at the scene. Little Lorencia, a fifth grader at Sybil Strachan Primary, died in hospital on June 7. The third shooting victim, Leroy Sands, remains in stable condition at hospital, according to police.
Cartwright did not have to enter a plea at his initial court appearance.
The magistrate remanded Cartwright to the Bahamas Department of Corrections. He returns to court on October 8.
Cartwright’s father, Delanzo “Lance” Cartwright Sr, was fatally shot in Pinewood Gardens on March 10, 2017.
His brothers Malik and Delano Cartwright were gunned down at a Supercuts barbershop on Jerome Avenue June 9, 2018.
