A second man has been convicted of a shooting in St David’s after a Supreme Court trial.

Stacey Robinson, 24, was found guilty by a majority verdict of wounding Lionel Thomas Jr with intent to cause grievous bodily harm in an incident on April 30 last year. He further was found guilty of using a firearm to commit an indictable offence.

Meanwhile, his co-defendant, Shelton Baker, 24, was found not guilty by the jury, as was 22-year-old Roshunte Davis, who had been charged with being an accessory after the fact.

Her boyfriend, Shannon Dill, pleaded guilty to wounding Mr Thomas with intent to cause grievous bodily harm before the trial began.

Prosecutors had alleged that Mr Baker and Robinson were both involved in the shooting itself, while Ms Davis helped Dill by attempting to remove his car from the scene.

During the trial, Mr Thomas said in the early hours of April 30, he was on his way home when he saw a group of men in dark clothes walking up the stairs towards his bedroom. A short while later he confronted the group and was shot.

A friend, who cannot be identified because of legal reasons, testified to hearing gunshots and seeing three men leave the area.

While she said the first man moved quickly down a hill on foot, the other two stopped by a nearby parked car and were heard to “mess with” the handle before walking in the same direction.

Another witness, Female B, testified that she was woken in the early hours by Dill, who told her Robinson was in trouble and asked to borrow her motorcycle. She and her sister, Female C, went searching for Robinson and found him with Dill, Ms Davis and Mr Baker in a St David’s park.

She told the court that the group went back to her home, where Dill asked Ms Davis to collect his car for him. She and her sister went with Ms Davis to collect the car, but abandoned the effort after they were confronted by a man on a motorcycle whom she believed had “beef” with Robinson.

Police arrested Dill the next morning when he came to the scene of the shooting and began asking about his car, which Police found nearby with its doors locked, licence plates in the back seat and keys in the ignition.

While prosecutors alleged that Robinson had contacted Ms Davis at about 2.40am, urging her to come to St David’s, Robinson had told the court that Dill had borrowed his phone earlier that morning.

Ms Davis, meanwhile, accepted that she went with Female B and Female C to collect Dill’s car and called a towing company to pick up the vehicle, but maintained that she did so without any knowledge of the shooting.

Defence lawyer Marc Daniels argued that the Crown had failed to prove its case against his client, Mr Baker, and that the evidence before the courts was insufficient to prove his involvement.

Elizabeth Christopher, representing both Robinson and Ms Davis, said there was nothing to suggest either of her clients knew what Dill had involved them in, and that prosecutors were inviting the jury to speculate.

After deliberating, the jury delivered a majority verdict of nine to three against Robinson, but aquitted both Mr Baker and Ms Davis.

Robinson and Dill are both expected to return to the courts this summer for a sentencing date to be set.
