Shalom Bailey of Yorks has been remanded for fatal shooting at GSpot Nightclub
The legal proceedings for a man accused of a deadly shooting at a popular Independence Drive nightclub have been pushed back to late January.
Thirty-two-year-old Shalom Bailey, a Yorks resident, made a brief court appearance this week on murder and attempted murder charges stemming from a May 15th, 2024 incident at Asylum Night Club Bar and Restaurant, better known as G Spot.
Magistrate’s Court has set January 23rd, 2026 as the new date for Bailey’s committal hearing, which will determine if prosecutors have assembled enough evidence to elevate the case to High Court.
The charges relate to a shooting that left one man dead and another injured during what was supposed to be an ordinary Wednesday night at the establishment. Authorities allege Bailey fired shots at two patrons before fleeing the venue.
Kevin Vaceannie, 24, succumbed to his injuries at Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre hours after the shooting. Meanwhile, Darien Rover from Cassada Gardens received emergency medical care and ultimately survived his wounds.
It’s frustrating that these cases take months to reach High Court. The system needs to be faster for serious crimes like this.
Hearing about this so long after the incident makes it feel unreal. The delay in proceedings is almost as frustrating as the crime itself.
I really think we need to return to corporate punishment in the Caribbean. Simple because these people committing murders because they KNOW WELL nothing is going to happen but jail time.
Shooting case or murder case. Cause that’s what he was charged for. Good riddance to bad rubbish
January feels far away when people are still living with the fear from that night. Justice shouldn’t move this slow.
