Two men arrested for the shooting of Jakai Harford last weekend have been released from custody on Police bail.

The pair — aged 18 and 23 — were arrested after detectives attended their separate Pembroke homes on Saturday evening and Sunday morning, respectively.

They were released yesterday.

Police revealed earlier this week that Mr. Harford was in a taxi when he was shot multiple times in the early hours of Saturday morning on Mission Lane, Pembroke. They have said the attack was believed to be gang-related.

Mr. Harford was shot in the upper body and suffered serious injuries, which are not thought to be life-threatening.

He had surgery on Saturday in the Intensive Care Unit at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and remains on a general ward.

The attack on Mr. Harford was the 40th confirmed shooting incident of the year and the sixth since March 17. It follows the murder of James (Junior) Lawes, a 26-year-old Jamaican, during a triple shooting on March 19 outside Place’s Place bar on Dundonald Street.

A 30-year-old Smith’s man was arrested in connection with that incident and has since been released on bail.
