Committal Hearing Delayed in Mount Obama Fatal Shooting
The committal proceedings in Antigua and Barbuda’s for Deon Lloyd, the man charged in connection with Javorn Williams’ death, has been postponed until June 4
The case stems from an encounter that unfolded on January 2 at the landmark formerly known as Boggy Peak, now officially called Mount Obama.
It is said that what began as a confrontation between the two men escalated tragically, leaving 35-year-old Williams dead from gunshot wounds.
Lloyd, a 42-year-old Lower Ottos resident represented by attorney Wendel Alexander, was scheduled to appear for his committal hearing on March 26.
However, when brought before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel this week, the proceedings couldn’t move forward as planned.
