A 28-year-old unemployed resident of Bee Hive, East Coast Demerara, has been ordered to remain in custody after entering a not guilty plea to multiple firearm-related charges. Kevin Adams appeared remotely before Magistrate Rushell Liverpool at the Linden Magistrate’s Court on Monday, December 29, 2025.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred on Saturday, December 28, at the Retrieve Hard Court in Mackenzie, Linden. According to police reports, officers stationed at the venue witnessed the alleged discharge of a firearm and subsequently apprehended Adams.
Law enforcement officials conducted a search that yielded one .32 Taurus pistol equipped with a magazine and ten live .32 caliber rounds in Adams’ possession. Authorities confirmed that despite the discharge of the weapon, no injuries resulted from the incident.
Adams faces three distinct charges: unlawful possession of a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without authorization, and discharging a loaded firearm within 100 yards of a public thoroughfare. The defendant maintained his innocence on all counts during the court proceedings.
Magistrate Liverpool has scheduled the next hearing for January 13, 2026, at which time the case will continue through the judicial system. Adams will remain incarcerated until that date as the legal process moves forward.
