The man, who has been identified as Kalik Aaron, a 20-year old Virgin Islander and resident of St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands, has been charged with conspiracy to murder and attempted murder of Cheltenham.

The charges were laid today August 2, 2017 for the shooting of Cheltenham, who has been left critically injured following the October 29, 2016 shooting, according to Police.

The Police further stated that the victim continues to receive treatment for his injuries

Meanwhile, Aaron will appear at the Magistrate’s Court at the next available date.

    The police is reeling them in 1 by 1. Everything takes time. When you cast out that fishing rod, it takes a while for the fish to bite. Everyone of you who is going around doing S,?t and think you are getting away with it is going to get hook on that fishing rod real soon.
