TWO men have pleaded not guilty to charges connected to an attempted murder last September.

Prosecutors allege Javarius Paulsaint, 22, attempted to kill an anonymous witness with a handgun on September 8, 2024 in New Providence.

Paulsaint allegedly damaged Dominique Fernander’s 2008 blue Mitsubishi Colt and Ricardo Martin Jr’s 2010 black Honda Accord during the same incident.

His co-accused, Deonne Lockhart, 22, is accused of helping Paulsaint evade police after the shooting.

Paulsaint pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and two counts of causing damage before Justice Guillimina Archer-Minns.

Lockhart pleaded not guilty to being an accessory after the fact to attempted murder.

Lockhart told the court he did not sign a photo lineup included in his voluntary bill of indictment.

Justice Archer-Minns advised him to raise the issue with Justice Franklyn Williams when both men return before him on 9 December for trial date fixture.

Eucal Bonaby prosecuted.
