Shane Minors was murdered in an attempt to avenge the death of Gary ‘Fingaz’ Cann, according to prosecutors today.Ronniko Burchall, 22, a childhood friend of Mr Cann, and Leroy Symons, 20, Mr Burchall’s half-brother, have both been charged with the murder of Mr Minors in December, 2009.Mr Burchall has also been charged with using a firearm to murder Mr Minors. Both men maintain their innocence.Making his opening statement this morning in Supreme Court, Crown counsel Robert Welling said the murder was one of a “tit for tat” series of shootings between Parkside and 42, two known gangs on the Island.On December 15 that year, days before Mr Minors was killed, Mr Cann was fatally shot outside a home in Sandys.“He was good friends with Mr Burchall,” Mr Welling said. “They grew up together. They rode scramblers together.“The next morning Troy ‘Yankee’ Rawlins was shot at on Court Street. These two incidents were the catalyst for the incident you will hear about in this case. Parkside had a clear reason for revenge.”He said the court will hear that in the hours before the shooting, Mr Burchall went to Mr Symons before Mr Minors shooting and showed him a gun.Mr Symons allegedly instructed Mr Burchall how to use the weapon, and when asked told him about a “back way” to the South Terrace home that Mr Minors shared with his family.At around 1.12am on December 17, Mr Minors was shot twice outside his home. One bullet passed through his thigh, while a second pierced his kidney, diaphragm and spleen, killing him.Mr Welling said that Mr Minors was not involved in gang activity, but his brother Shaki Minors was reportedly connected to the 42 gang.The trial is expected to continue tomorrow.
