He was denied bail and he returns to court on October 18.
Demetrius Brown, also known as “Frowsy”, appeared before Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr. charged with the June 19 murder of Keishon Bethel.
Bethel died in hospital after he was shot on Nassau Street.
His accused killer was denied bail and his next court date is September 22.
Additionally, Jeremy Thompson, whose street name is “Donkey”, is accused of the July 3 shooting death of Rolin “Popo” Alexis at Delaporte.
Thompson , 23, of Comfort Street and Sea Breeze Drive, was not required to enter a plea to the murder charge when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt.
He was denied bail and he returns to court in November.
