A suspect was in custody last night in connection with the murder of a wheelchair-bound man, who was shot during a family celebration.Lorenzo Stovell was gunned down around 11.43pm on Sunday as he waited inside a minibus near Woody’s Bar, while 20 female friends and family members drank inside.No-one else was injured in the attack, which police believe was gang-related. The minibus driver rushed Mr Stovell to Port Royal Fire Station, where he was declared dead.Yesterday evening, a police spokesman said: “The Bermuda Police Service has taken a 24- year-old Sandys Parish resident into custody in relation to the murder of Lorenzo Stovell.“The subject was arrested early this evening by officers from our Armed Response Units. Investigations are continuing as we continue to progress the evidence in this case.”Mr Stovell, 24, of Middletown Lane, Pembroke, was left partially paralysed after being shot in the back and arms at Gravity nightclub in Devonshire on December 17, 2011.His uncle Danny Crockwell, whose son Shaki was shot dead in 2007, was one of several family members grieving yesterday at a home on Deepdale Road, Pembroke.“Family can only take so much,” he told The Royal Gazette. “They already shot the guy and paralysed him and now what, they go and kill him?”Mr Crockwell said his nephew had been making a slow recovery from his injuries, but was in high spirits when he last saw him on Friday.“He was home all day playing Fifa,” said Mr Crockwell, adding that Mr Stovell and his son had been close friends.Other family members nodded as Mr Crockwell asked: “What’s going to happen next? They have got to find out who killed him, and for what.”Mr Stovell’s godmother, Leslie-Ann Rochester, asked members of the community to give the family room to grieve.“My godchildren have been through hell and back,” she said. “I’d just like for people to be compassionate to the family right now.”Among the mourners was a woman identifying herself as a close friend of the victim, who said she had been part of the group celebrating the birthday of Mr Crockwell’s cousin.The Suburban Transit minibus had made several stops around the Island before it arrived at Woody’s just over an hour before the shooting.“There were maybe 25 of us, all women; he was the only male with us,” the woman said.“That was the only stop where he was alone.”She said she didn’t hear shots inside the bar, but the group was left stranded and frightened in the area.“I don’t know why the police left a bus of town people up there,” she said.Forensics officers attended the scene of the shooting and could be seen yesterday morning preparing to examine the minibus at Port Royal Station.Police said Mr Stovell was sitting in the vehicle with the driver for a little over an hour when a gunman approached and opened fire.Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro said the attack was being investigated as “gang-related on the part of the suspect or suspects”. No weapon had been recovered yesterday.“We have again seen the tragic loss of life unfold in our neighbourhoods,” Det Ch Insp Pedro said.Police were pursuing “a number of investigative leads” but were keen to speak with anyone who had been on Malabar Road or at Woody’s Bar at the time, he added.A forensic pathologist from overseas is expected to conduct an autopsy on the victim soon.Superintendent James Howard of the Serious Crime Unit said: “The murder of Mr Stovell represents the third death caused by the use of a firearm in Bermuda this year.”Stefan Burgess, 24, was shot dead at a residence on The Glebe Road in Pembroke in January, and Joshua Robinson, 31, was shot at Jason’s Barber Shop on North Shore Road in Pembroke in June. No one has been charged in either of those cases.Supt Howard noted that the latest killing will “undoubtedly impact the local community”.He added: “It is important that everyone remains calm, and allows the police to work to catch the gunmen involved.”Friends and family of Mr Stovell expressed incredulity that guns could be turned on a man in a wheelchair.For others, coping with another gun murder had grown all too familiar.“The only time we all get together is when people die,” one man, who called Mr Stovell his cousin, remarked.A representative of Suburban Transit Mini Bus Service declined to comment.Anyone with any possible information is asked to call police on 295-0011, or the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers hotline, 800-8477.
