A man is facing a murder charge in connection with the shooting of a 10-year-old boy.
Prosecutors allege that Leon Evans, 23, of West Street, is responsible for the March 11 shooting at Finlayson Street that took Kenron Dean’s life and almost ended the lives of three of his male relatives.
Evans is charged with the attempted murders of Kenron’s twin brother, eight-year-old cousin, and 32-year-old uncle, Marvin Ferguson.
He didn’t have to enter pleas to the charges when he made his initial court appearance before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt.
However, his lawyer Krysta Mason-Smith said homicide detectives still charged Evans although he told them he had an alibi.
Ferguson-Pratt remanded Evans to prison as she lacks the jurisdiction to consider bail for the charges.
Evans will make his next court appearance on January 29, 2022.
