Two Pembroke men are in custody in connection with the weekend shooting of 27-year-old Jakai Harford.

An 18-year-old was arrested at his home on Saturday evening and a 23-year-old was arrested yesterday morning at a separate residence.

Superintendent Antoine Daniels. head of Bermuda Police Service’s Serious Crime Unit, told a press conference today: “The victim remains in hospital in stable condition and, although his injuries are described as serious, they do not appear to be life threatening.”

Mr. Harford was shot multiple times in the upper body at 4 a.m. on Saturday on Mission Lane, Pembroke.

The shots were fired when he was still in a taxi which had brought him from outside a nightclub in St. George’s.

Supt. Daniels said: “There were also other persons inside the taxi during the journey that investigators are interested in speaking with.”

The attack was the 40th confirmed shooting of the year and the sixth since March 17.

Anyone with information should contact Police on 299-8121 or call the confidential Crime Stoppers Bermuda hot line on 800-8477.
