NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A man accused in a deadly shooting on Soldier Road in 2022 was found not guilty of murder and attempted murder by a jury on Friday.
Clifford Carlos Almonor, also known as “CJ,” was charged in connection with the August 22, 2022, shooting that left Herick Charles dead and Craig Deveaux injured.
The trial was heard before Justice Roberto Reckley.
Prosecutors alleged that Deveaux originally identified Almonor as one of the people involved in the shooting.
However, while testifying at trial, Deveaux, who is also facing a murder charge, recanted his statement identifying Almonor as the shooter, saying his marijuana use had affected his memory.
The jury returned unanimous not guilty verdicts on both charges.
Almonor, who was on bail, was represented by Joel Seymour.
