And the two teens, Jamal David Crumwell, 19, and Nykosu Gittens, 18, who allegedly shot and robbed him of his motorcycle and cash were remanded to jail until December 17.

Two Sundays ago, it is alleged that the duo shot Persaud in the thigh before escaping with his motorcycle, CF4664 and a pouch containing his driver’s license during a brazen robbery in Broad Street, Charlestown.

Persaud, 45, of lot 94 La Penitence Street, Albouystown related that he was on his way home when a friend invited him to take a “drink” at a beer garden at the corner of Broad and Ketley Streets, Charlestown.

About 20 minutes after Persaud wheeled his motorcycle into the shop; the duo attacked and shot him.
