A man accused of being a part of an attempted murder plot was later picked out in an identity parade by a prosecution witness, a court has been told.

Shelton Baker along with Stacey Robinson are alleged to have tried to kill Lionel Thomas Jr on April 30 last year close to his home in St David’s.

Yesterday a Supreme Court jury heard that the woman, who can’t be named for legal reasons, picked out Mr Baker on a Promat identity parade as one of the men she met in the aftermath of the shooting after hearing that a family member — Mr Robinson — was in trouble.

A written statement by Inspector Robert Cardwell read to the court by prosecutor Nicole Smith stated: “Mr Baker was put in position four.

“I brought the witness into the room and the identity parade was played twice for the witness.

“At the conclusion I asked the witness if she wished to view all or part of it again. She replied “no”.

“I said to the witness was the person you saw on April 30 in the parade and she replied ‘yes’.

“I asked her to identify the person and tell me the number that appears on screen next to the person. I cautioned her that if she was unsure or uncertain she should say. She replied ‘Four’.”

Mr Baker and Mr Robinson both deny charges of attempted murder, wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and using a firearm to commit an indictable offence in connection to the shooting.

A third defendant Roshuntae Davis denies assisting a fourth man, Shannon Dill, after the fact. Dill has already admitted charges linked to the shooting.

Prosecutors say Mr Baker, Mr Robinson and Dill all worked together to carry out the shooting, while Ms Davis attempted to remove Dill’s car from the scene.

The court has heard that Mr Thomas sustained two gun shot wounds in the shooting that occurred close to his home on Cove Valley Road, St David’s.

Previously the female witness, known as Female B, said Dill woke her up early on the morning of April 30 asking to borrow her motorcycle because Mr Robinson — a family member — was in trouble.

She said she and another woman, Female C, went out searching for Mr Robinson.

While driving through St David’s, she said they were contacted by Ms Davis via text message.

They subsequently drove to a park, where they found Ms Davis, Mr Robinson, Mr Baker and Dill. The group travelled back to her home, where they stayed until she said Dill asked Ms Davis to collect his car for him.

Female B said she, Female C and Ms Davis all went together to get the car, with the witness saying that Ms Davis knew where the car was parked.

However, on the way to the car, they were confronted by a man, Male A, who pulled up alongside the vehicle and spoke with Ms Davis.

Female B said she could not recall what was said, but the conversation had frightened her.

“There was tension in the conversation,” she said. “There was tension between the two.”

As a result of the conversation, the women gave up on recovering the car, instead driving to Ms Davis’s home in Hamilton Parish.

“We were scared,” she said. “We didn’t want to bring problems to the house, especially knowing my family was there. We didn’t want to be followed to my house.”

At around 6am, the witness said she and Female C returned to St David’s, where they saw Dill in the back of a Police car.

She later said she spoke to Mr Robinson about what happened, but could not recall the details of the conversation.

“It was a whole year ago,” she said. “I don’t remember. It was very stressful. I don’t remember.”

The case continues.
