In Johnâs matter, the court heard that the victim was going home from a dance at about 12:15 a.m. when he met the defendant. Griffith apparently recognised John and started running. It was said that the defendant gave chase and fired shots at Griffith resulting in the injury.
John told the court that he did not know anything about the shooting as at the time he was at the home of his girlfriend. âMe and dem boys dey donât get in trouble,â he explained.
It was said that Austin Gordon and Williams got into an altercation which ended in blood shed.
Both defendants will return to court on June 6 for the preliminary investigation into the matter.
