Man held for friend’s death

The suspect was detained hours later. A preliminary report stated the shooting may have been accidental.

Investigators also believe the illegal weapon recovered on the night of the incident was being held in safe keeping for someone.

At the time, it is also believed the suspect was “fooling around with the weapon” resulting in the shooting incident which claimed Alexander’s life.

An autopsy was expected to be performed yesterday at the Forensic Science Centre, St James.
