NASSAU- A man awaiting trial for allegedly murdering two people and trying to kill two others has been jailed for having an unlicensed handgun.
Dominique Rolle, 26, others called Dungles, was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment for having a loaded Glock 43 9mm pistol in his car. He’ll spend an additional six months in prison if he doesn’t pay a $7,500 fine.
Police pulled over a car that Rolle was driving on Balfour Avenue on December 21, 2020.
During a search, the officers found the weapon stashed in the ceiling of the car near the rear view mirror.
While on $8,000 bail for the gun charge, Rolle and Leonardo Collie were accused of shooting up a yard on Third Street Coconut Grove on May 14, 2021.
Akeem Davis and Lavonne Dawkins died as a result of the shooting and Shakeem Campbell and Deshawn Rodgers were seriously injured.
At the time of his sentencing for the gun charge, Rolle was on remand for the murders and attempted murders.
Rolle’s co-accused in the murder case was free on bail when he was shot dead at Market Street on March 17, 2022.
His sentence for the gun charge takes effect from October 5, the date of conviction.
