Murder-accused Leroy Symons was a “wannabe” gangster with links to different factions, according to a police expert who testified in his trial.Sergeant Alexander Rollin, supervisor of the Gang Targeting Unit, said of the 21-year-old: “I would struggle to put Mr Symons into a gang. I know him to associate with members of St Monica’s Road, the 42nd gang. I know him to associate with Middletown gang members as well as Parkside gang members. I don’t consider him to be a member of any of those gangs.“I would put Leroy Symons into a ‘wannabe’ category. What a wannabe is, is someone who might look up to older gang members, someone who might find a gang lifestyle exciting.”He said Mr Symons has the word “Bloods” tattooed across his chest. He said the Bloods are a national gang across the United States coming out of the west coast and the majority of Bermuda gangs emulate their lifestyle.“The majority of the Bermuda gangs look towards the Bloods’ gang lifestyle,” he explained.Sgt Rollin said Bermuda’s gangs Parkside and Middletown are allies who are locked in a murderous feud with the 42 gang.Each of the three gangs has different territory in Pembroke.Mr Symons’ half-brother Ronniko Burchall, 22, is accused alongside him of killing Shane Minors, 30.According to Sgt Rollin, he saw Mr Burchall “maybe once a week”, socialising with Parkside gang members in its Court Street territory prior to 2010, and sometimes in the Middletown gang area nearby.From early 2010 onwards, Sgt Rollin said he saw Mr Burchall “almost on a daily basis” in the Middletown area, associating with Middletown gang members.Mr Minors was shot dead on the doorstep of his Pembroke home in the early hours of December 17, 2009. His family found his body later that morning.Mr Burchall is accused of carrying out the murder while Mr Symons is said by prosecutors to have shown him how to use the gun and given directions to the victim’s home in South Terrace, Pembroke.Sgt Rollin told the jury: “I don’t consider Shane Minors to be a gang member at all.”However, he said Mr Minors’ brother, Shaki Minors, was a member of the 42 gang at the time and had a 42 gang tattoo across his back.Shaki Minors was shot at at the Southside Cinema in St David’s the month before his brother was killed, according to Sgt Rollin.Prosecutor Robert Welling told the jury during his opening speech that Shane Minors was shot “simply because he was the brother of Shaki Minors”.He said the shooting came amid an ongoing feud between the Parkside and 42 gangs that had seen Mr Burchall’s childhood friend Gary (Fingaz) Cann shot dead two days beforehand in Sandys.Sgt Rollin described Mr Cann as someone “close to the top” of the Parkside gang who had Parkside tattooed across his hands.Mr Welling alleged during his opening speech to the jury that Mr Burchall shot Mr Minors to avenge the death of Mr Cann.The day before the Minors murder, Troy (Yankee) Rawlins was shot at on Court Street.Sgt Rollin described Mr Rawlins as an associate of, and mentor to, the Parkside gang. He said Parkside, and their allies in the Middletown gang, had “a great deal of loyalty” to Mr Rawlins.Mr Welling has described the shooting of Mr Rawlins as “the catalyst” for Shane Minors being shot and killed 16 hours later as this was “clear motivation for Parkside to seek revenge”.Prosecutor Mr Welling read information to the jury yesterday that was admitted into evidence with the agreement of defence lawyers in the case.It stated that a bullet recovered from Shane Minors’ body was analysed so unique markings on it could be compared to bullets in other shootings.The result was that the gun was “probably” used in the fatal shooting of Kumi Harford on December 5, 2009.According to Sgt Rollin, Mr Harford was a high-ranking member of the 42 gang.The gun was also linked to the fatal shooting of Jamiko Leshore on March 1, 2011, who Sgt Rollin described as a member of the 42 gang.The same firearm was linked to the non-fatal shootings of Demarlo Curtis on December 30, 2009, David Godwin on February 21, 2010 and David Cox on March 21, 2010.Sgt Rollin said he is not familiar with Mr Curtis.He said Mr Cox is a member of the 42 gang who has recently been convicted of murdering Raymond (Yankee) Rawlins in a shooting that came after the December 16, 2009 attempt on his life.Mr Symons and Mr Burchall deny murdering Shane Minors, with Mr Burchall denying an additional charge of using a firearm to commit murder, and the case continues.
