    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – POLICE have brought another charge against the two McKnight youths who had allegedly shot Amal Whyte during a football game at the Warner Park Football Stadium on Saturday (May 27).

    The two young men, Lewis Powell and Dequan Maloney, both of Upper Shaw Avenue, McKnight, were on Friday (Jun. 9) charged with attempted murder.

    This charge is in addition to causing grievous bodily harm and making use of a firearm to commit a felony, which were laid against them a few days after the shooting incident.

    AT about 7:25 p.m. on the day in question, Whyte of St. Johnson Village was reportedly shot to his hand and side as well as injuring his knee while attempting to flee from his attackers.

    He was at the time seated on the eastern mound of the Warner Park Football Stadium among a large group of spectators, including women and children, viewing a game between RAM’S Village Superstars and FLOW 4G Cayon Rockets.

    The shooting incident had caused officials to call off the game as many spectators had scampered to safety in all directions, including running onto the field of play.

    According to reports, the perpetrators had entered the Park from the eastern gate, where it was said not to have been manned by security personnel.

    However, a police communiqué had informed that the firearm used in the commission of the crime was “an air pistol/pellet gun” and the two suspects were apprehended and taken into custody on the same evening of the incident.

    According to the Minister of Sports, the Hon. Shawn Richards the police were able to apprehend the two men after speaking with the person responsible for the mounted security cameras at the venue.
