Twenty-six-year-old Nicholas Robinson, otherwise called ‘Nick,’ a construction worker of Espeut Avenue, Kingston 11, has been charged following a dispute in the community that left a man injured on Tuesday, June 23.
Reports from the Hunts Bay Police are that at about 4:30 a.m., a dispute developed between a man and one of his relatives, which escalated into a physical altercation.

The incident was subsequently reported to the police. During investigations, detectives obtained statements alleging that Robinson had given the firearm used by the relative to shoot the complainant.
Robinson was later arrested and, following an interview conducted in the presence of his attorney, was charged with Wounding with Intent, Possession of Prohibited Weapon, Unauthorised Possession of Ammunition, Using a Firearm to Commit Felony and Conspiracy to Wounding with Intent.
His court date is being finalised.
