The jury hearing the trial of two men accused of a shooting in St. George's visited the scene of the crime, the Royal Artillery Association club, yesterday.

The four men and eight women were accompanied to the venue in Grenadier Lane by Puisne Judge Charles-Etta Simmons and lawyers in the case.

There was also a heavy Police presence, although the accused men, Dwayne Signor, 29, and Khyri Smith-Williams, 19, did not attend.

The jury explored the inside and outside of the building during the visit, which lasted just over half an hour. They then returned to Supreme Court.

Signor, from St. George's, is accused of shooting 18-year-old Shawn Williams in the back in the early hours of Easter Sunday during a reggae party at the club.

The gun was allegedly brought to the club by the victim's friend, Smith-Williams, from Sandys.

The weapon is said by prosecutors to have been grabbed from him by Signor after a fight broke out between Smith-Williams and a group of men from St. George's who tried to disarm him.

Signor allegedly shot Mr. Williams while he was embroiled in a fight with a St. George's man named Jason Barnett.

Mr. Williams was unable to identify his assailant when he gave evidence on Tuesday.

Yesterday, the jury heard from Detective Constable Rohan Henry after they returned from the site visit.

Det. Con. Henry interviewed Smith-Williams in the aftermath of the incident. He was in the Emergency Room at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital at the time, having suffered head and facial injuries, slash marks and a stab wound to the chest during the fight.

According to Det. Con. Henry, Smith-Williams was unable to recall how he got his injuries and could not give any information that assisted the investigation.

Following the detective's evidence, prosecutor Robert Welling closed the case for the Crown.

Signor denies charges of attempting to murder Mr. Williams, shooting at him with a loaded firearm with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and possessing a firearm and a 9 mm bullet.

Smith-Williams denies charges of carrying a firearm and going armed in public so as to cause terror.

The defence case is expected to begin today.
