UPDATE: Cadeem Thomas alleges seeing Kenyetta Boynes shooting
Thomas was said to have been in the company of Prentice on the porch of Aaron’s Jeep and Car Rental. Appearing today for the Crown Attorney O’Neil Simpson told the court that the shooting allegedly took place as a consequence of Thomas failing to keep an item safe for the accused.
He told the court that the three were associates and would hang together. On December 10, 2014 it was alleged that Boynes had visited Aaron’s Jeep and Car Rental where he met both Thomas and Prentice. He allegedly gave Thomas something which he instructed him to keep safely. Thomas allegedly failed to keep the item safely.
When the accused returned the following day he noted that the item was not kept safely as instructed. On December 13, 2014 the defendant allegedly returned again to the said establishment where an altercation ensued between himself and Thomas regarding the item.
It was further alleged that on December 14, 2014 both Thomas and Prentice were again at the said establishment and had left to go do business while the business was closing. Upon their return after being unsuccessful, they sat on the porch. While there that very night Thomas alleged to have seen the accused come to the area driving a vehicle and subsequently parking nearby.
It was shortly after that the Prentice and Thomas heard loud sounds coming from the alleyway between the establishment and the ice-cream parlor.
Thomas told police that he looked and saw the accused pointing in their direction with what appeared to have been a gun and was shooting in their direction. The two took evasive actions and Prentice collapsed in the centre of the road at Water Front Drive while Thomas fled in the area of Nagico Insurances. They alleged that the accused fled on foot.
Boynes was subsequently arrested and on December 19, 2014 he was interviewed as it relates to the incidents and he denied, providing an alibi.
Boynes will return to the Magistrate’s Court on March 25, 2015 for a proceeding that will allow the matter to be taken to the High Court for trial.
Attorney at Law representing Boynes, Patrick Thompson, who had requested documents from the prosecution was denied same and even as he requested of the Magistrate to have a brief word with his client, this too was denied as the Magistrate informed him that the court did not have sufficient security officers available to allow for his request.

Its about time they take this c.....al off the streets. Lets see who his people will blame this time. He never took responsibility for his c.....al behavior because his people were too busy covering for him. Now he is completely out of control. Take him off the streets. Sad that Prentice had to die for us to be rid of this monster. Too bad we don't do the noose thing anymore.
I extend sympathy to the family of the decease and I pray that the cops will do the right thing and investigate from every angle. The sound is good to many of us but will it stand up as evidence? Peace.
