Attempt on Yankee: Anthony Swan Found Guilty

22-year-old Anthony Swan was found guilty this afternoon [Sept 16] in Supreme Court in relation to the December 16th 2009 attempted shooting of Troy “Yankee” Rawlins outside the C&R Discount Store on Court Street at approximately 10:30am that morning. 

Mr. Swan, of Cut Road in St. George’s, was found guilty of a number of charges including a string of firearm possession offences. He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at a later date.

Mr Rawlins, 47, was subsequently fatally shot in a separate incident eight months later in August 2010, for which another man has been charged. During Mr Swan’s trial Mr. Rawlins previous statements were read into the record.

The CCTV video footage of the incident was released by the Police and also used as evidence during the trial. It can be viewed below:
