NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A 23-year-old man is behind bars, accused of accidentally shooting and killing his alleged accomplice during a botched murder attempt.
Prosecutors say George Miller shot and killed aspiring rapper Yaphet Newton while allegedly trying to murder Kaiden Evans and Ricardo Joseph.
Miller appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Ancella Evans on charges of murder, attempted murder and firearm possession with intent to endanger life.
He was not required to enter pleas and was remanded to prison until March 4, when the case is expected to be fast-tracked to the Supreme Court.
The charges stem from an October 5 shooting at Wilson Tract.
Police say the intended targets were standing outside a home when three gunmen opened fire.
Newton, who performed under the name ESN Phetty, was allegedly among the attackers but ended up in the line of fire and was killed.
