Homicide victim in Lizzy, Aljaron Stubbs, was on bail for an attempted murder of a police sergeant back in 2023!

Aljaron Stubbs, 23, of Barbados Ave in Elizabeth Estates, who was shot dead on Thursday afternoon was on bail for several serious incidents including the attempted murder of a Police Sergeant!

NASSAU| The country’s Thursday homicide victim is Aljaron Stubbs, 23, the young man who was accused of being at the centre of a plot to murder Police Sergeant Raphael Miller back on March 13, 2023.

On Thursday, while Stubbs was in his Suzuki Wagon with his girlfriend, the couple was shot in a hail of bullets. She was hit in the back and survived but Stubbs died on the scene, leaving the community screaming and hollering.

Stubbs, along with Roger Wallace, stood before then-Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt back in October 2023 facing serious attempted murder charges on that police sergeant.

Now get this: what media will not tell yinner is that Stubbs (at age 20) was on bail for another attempted murder and his sidekick Wallace was already awaiting trial for two murders: the 2021 murders of Nevada “Booker” Nairn at Fox Hill and Antone “Conchman” Thompson at Faith Avenue South. Most people around here do not let matters go!

Additionally, Stubbs had appeared in the same court charged with the February 10th, 2023 murder of Jorge Cuevas, who was gunned down outside Island Luck on West Bay Street.

Back in May 2023, Justice Bernard Turner, after hearing arguments in a bail application for Stubbs, denied the application, citing that he was not a right and proper fit for bail back then.

Anyway, someone in the court granted Aljaron Stubbs bail and today, in the end, he is dead. The family is in the streets screaming; accusing the world and cussing the people at the morgue on national TV. And, as we often say on this page, be warned people getting bail in the Bahamas – IT IS EQUAL TO A DEATH SENTENCE! And while all is being said most in media refuse to give the research and present the history of these victim. These killings are always connected to some serious incident.

We report and yinner decide!

Marvin Dames back in the US – perhaps to get his loaded Co***ne Boat back from the Americans?!

NASSAU| Latest news coming into the Bahamas Press, as we understand it, is that former National Security Minister Marvin Dames flew to the United States in a bold attempt to retrieve his boat from the Americans.

Sources tell us Dames, who has been in the US since the General Elections, attempted to get his boat back, but was unsuccessful.

Now earlier this year his “business partner” sailed some 200 kilos on the Charter vessel “REEL Xperience”. Boat captain Malcolm Goodman is accused of smuggling an estimated $4 million worth of co***ne into the United States. This cargo had the potential to cause harm and even death to some 300,000 Americans.

BP shared how the vessel was registered to Dames in records from the Port Authority. Both US and Bahamian Authorities do not return vessels loaded with drugs and CO***NE is where ya put me.

Dames got a loan to purchase the vessel, which he must now repay.

News of the loaded co***ne boat broke on BP first and was widely circulated across BP channels, confirming the owner and captain’s identity.

Meanwhile, the press was too shaken to ask Opposition Leader Michael Pintard one question about Dames’ boat. He was also the FNM standard bearer for Mount Moriah. He lost the seat to PLP second term MP McKell Bonaby.

The Co***ne Scandal, so named by BP, destroyed the FNM at the polls and left them in the wilderness of the Bahamian electorate for another five year term.

WHAT IS THIS?!

We report yinner decide!

Statement From The Chairman of The Progressive Liberal Party On The FNM Calling For The Resignation of Michael Halkitis

STATEMENT: “We take note of the FNM’s statement calling for the resignation of the Minister of Finance. The demand for the resignation is as stupid as it is idle.

“The position of the FNM is based in a far-fetched illogic. This is a party still dumbstruck by their loss at the polls and in Michael Pintard’s desperate attempt to hold on to his leadership, he is lashing out in every direction like a chicken without a head.

“The fact is the Minister has no legal nexus that would suggest a conflict of interest. What you have is a set of rank, bitter amateurs in the FNM trying to play lawyer. They have no legal, ethical or moral case to stand on.

“What we have left is idle demands of a vapid political group.”

NASSAU| Police just made the discovery of a female who they believe committed su***de near the Curly’s Restaurant and Bar on West Bay Street.

This comes following a shooting death in the Elizabeth Estates Community earlier on Thursday which involved two individuals. One of the victims died following the ordeal.

We report yinner decide!

CAPTION: Scenes from that su***de scene on Thursday.

PINTARD DOES LIE! And his LATEST IS ON TOP NOTCH Builder Limited!

Pintard will not be nominated in 2031 AND MEDIA MUST DO THE WORD BEFORE MOVING ON LIES AND HEARSAY!

NASSAU| Bahamas Press now has the documents after careful research that Michael Pintard and his cohorts of FNMs are DAMN LIARS salty and bitter following their wicked (CUT-YINNER-KNOW-WHAT) on the polls on May 12th, 2026.

This week desperate Pintard, attempting to hold onto power extended his “Player” lie to the Finance Man suggesting that the top man in the country worked for a man now in the United States. THIS IS A BRAZEN LIE BY THE OPPOSITION!

Tonight we at Bahamas Press present the filed documents which confirmed the directors and shareholders around the company of TOP NOTCH Builder Limited filed on July 8th 2020 and October 15th 2021 when Michael Halkitis served as a Consultant/Director.

It is shameless to also see that the media following on the back of the now desperate Opposition Leader failed to carry out the basic rules of journalism to see and discover if what was being said by the Leader of the Opposition are indeed truth or fact.
Tonight we lay on the table of public record the Registered Documents filed in the Registrar of Records which list the shareholders, Directors of TOP NOTCH Builder Limited when DECENT Michael Halkitis was a Director.

Read for yourselves ( BELOW) and tell Pintard STOP THE LIES before BP go ballistic (CAMPAIGN MODE) on the FNM and MEDIA; and remind Pintard on the FULL Murder for HIRE LIE PLOT with Toogie and BOBO! Remember now we have the tapes! Mark MY WORD – Pintard will not be nominated in 2031!

We report yinner decide!
