Police have closed the investigation into the murder of architect Theophilus Thompson, who was gunned down at Podoleo Street on March 6.

Kevin Telusnord, otherwise known as Johnny Telusnord, 19, of Isabella Boulevard, Marathon Estates, appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt yesterday on a single count of murder and two counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors say that Telusnord murdered Thompson and attempted to murder Rashae Lundy and Neko Lundy.

Telusnord, who did not have a lawyer, was not required to enter a plea to the charges. He has been remanded into custody and makes his next court appearance on May 11. At that time it is expected that the case will be transferred to the Supreme Court for trial.

According to police, Thompson was sitting in his car with others when four to five men opened fire. Thompson attempted to drive himself to hospital, but crashed on the way. He was taken to hospital by ambulance and died there.
