15-Year-Old Faces Murder Charge in Mosquito Drive Shooting Homicide

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A 15-year-old boy is facing a murder charge after prosecutors say he shot and killed a man outside of his home.

Prosecutors allege the minor is responsible for the September 25 shooting death of 19-year-old Dennis Lightbourne.

The teen was not required to enter a plea to the charge when he stood before Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr.

Bail was denied and the accused returns to court on February 3, 2026 to receive voluntary bill of indictment papers.

According to police, Lightbourne was sitting on the porch of a home in Mosquito Drive in Fox Hill when a gunman, alleged to be the teen, wearing a hooded jacket shot him in the leg.
