16-year-old charged with firearm use, endangering four lives

A 16-year-old resident of St. George is confronting serious legal consequences after being formally charged with multiple criminal offences involving firearms and endangerment. The accused, identified as Demario David Michael Williams from Eastlyne, St. George, was apprehended by officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (South) in relation to incidents allegedly occurring on November 27, 2025.

The charges against Williams include the use of a firearm and four separate counts of endangering life involving individuals identified as Akiel Jackson, Sachin Etwaroo, Chad Bynoe, and Brandon Devonish. Additionally, he faces charges of criminal damage against properties belonging to Janelle Russell and Patel Puckerin.

The case is proceeding through the judicial system with Williams scheduled to make his appearance before the District ‘B’ Criminal Court. This development marks a significant escalation in the legal proceedings surrounding the alleged November incidents, drawing attention to youth involvement with firearms and violent crime in the community.

Law enforcement authorities have emphasized the seriousness of the charges, particularly highlighting the multiple endangerment counts that suggest potentially widespread risk to public safety. The formal charges indicate that investigators have gathered sufficient evidence to proceed with prosecution despite the youth of the accused.

The upcoming court appearance will determine the next steps in the judicial process for the teenager, whose case represents ongoing concerns about youth crime and firearm-related offenses in the region. The matter continues to be handled by specialized criminal investigation units within the police force.
