A Linden man was charged on Friday for firing a gun at another man, who is allegedly his lover’s neighbour.
Charged: Mark Perry
Mark Perry, also known as “Uno”, 49, of Blueberry Hill, Wismar, Linden, appeared before Magistrate Wanda Fortune at the Linden Magistrate’s Court, where the charge was read to him.
He was accused of discharging a loaded firearm at Godfrey Jones on Tuesday last. He was remanded to prison for the offence.
Police said on Tuesday, the incident occurred at Silvertown, Wismar, Linden.
It was reported that Perry’s lover and Jones are neighbours, and were allegedly having an ongoing issue prior to the incident.
On the day in question, the woman had complained to Perry that the victim threw objects into her yard. She then told the suspect to go and make a report at the station.
Sometime after the report was made, Perry allegedly went outside of their yard armed with a silver handgun, pointed it at Jones, who was standing in his yard, and discharged several rounds at the man.
Jones then ran for cover in a nearby yard. Perry later fled the scene.
Police later visited the scene in the company of Jones, who pointed out the area the suspect shot at him from.
Three 9mm spent shells were picked up from the scene and lodged at the Police station. Perry was later apprehended by Police. (G9)
