A man has been charged with shooting 24-year-old Dekimo Martin dead.

Kevin Warner, 20, is accused of murdering Mr. Martin outside his home in Peacock Crescent, Sandys, in the early hours of Friday, May 28.

He's further charged with possessing a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and perverting the course of justice.

He was not required to enter a plea, and was remanded into custody after a brief appearance at Magistrates' Court yesterday morning.

A second defendant, Charlita Campbell, was charged with providing a false alibi to Warner. She was not required to enter a plea either, and was released on bail.

The pair will appear at court again on June 11.

Yesterday marked the second gun murder case to be put before Bermuda's courts in the space of two days.

On Monday, 25-year-old Antonio Myers was charged with shooting Kumi Harford dead in St. Monica's Road in the early hours of December 5 2009.

Myers, of Rambling Lane, Pembroke, was also charged with possession of a firearm and remanded into custody pending another court appearance on June 15.

The charges against Warner and Myers are the first murder charges in respect of what has been a year of gun violence in Bermuda.

A total of nine men have lost their lives since May 2009.

Meanwhile a total of 25 people have been injured in shootings since the beginning of 2009. Six men are currently awaiting trials relating to four of those incidents.
