A second suspect in a drive-by shooting that left four people dead and seven injured was charged with murder and attempted murder in the absence of his lawyer yesterday.
Jermaine Curry, 25, of Dorsett Street, Fox Hill, is accused of the murders of Shaquille Demeritte, Claudezino Davis, Shenique Sands and Eric Morrison and the attempted murders of Samuel Ferguson, Leroy Taylor, Janet Davis, Chino Davis, Jermaine Pratt, John Davis and Benjamin Demeritte.
The victims were at Freedom Park in Fox Hill on December 27 when the occupants of a gray car opened fire on the crowd.
Detectives had questioned more than 60 people as they tried to figure out who was responsible for the shooting.
Curry's co-accused, Peter Rolle, 29, of Bernard Road, was charged on Monday.
Curry made his initial appearance before Magistrate Andrew Forbes.
Forbes conducted the arraignment before Curry's lawyer, Devard Francis, arrived.
Forbes instructed policemen to allow Curry a phone call to advise his lawyer of the March 18 adjourn date for the presentation of a voluntary bill of indictment, which will transfer the case to the Supreme Court.
He promised to make recommendations to the prison superintendent after Curry raised concerns about his safety.
Curry said he was concerned that relatives of the victims may be detained at the prison.
