By BBN Staff: One of two men charged in connection with an incident in which Belize City Deputy Mayor Micah Goodin was shot at, was granted bail by the Supreme Court today.

Twenty-five-year-old Tarique James was remanded to the Belize Central Prison earlier this week on a charge of discharging a firearm in public and was granted his bail today by Justice Antionette Moore.

Bail was set in the sum of $10,000 plus two sureties of $5,000 each. He is set to return to court on July 19.

As per the conditions of his bail, he must not interfere with any of the prosecution’s witnesses and must sign in at the Queen Street Police Station every week.

James was charged alongside Kenyon Tillett who faced charges of aggravated assault, wounding, and threatening words.

The incident happened on the morning of Saturday, May 14. Injured in the incident was Tae Medina, who was with Goodin at the time.
