22-year-old Mark Flowers was shot in his butt last night by a masked gunman on a beach cruiser bike. He told police that around 8 last night he was standing on Mahogany Street Between McKesey's Meats and Brown's Butane Gas when a man on a bicycle wearing a black ski mask and black stocking fired five shots at him. One shot hit Flowers in his left buttocks. The gunman rode off and Flowers called police.
Shortly after a police patrol unit intercepted 28 year old Lucius Myers who was riding up-stop on Vernon Street. Police pursued Myers and arrested him on Logwood Street. Police found a 38 revolver on him with 5 expended shells. They also found the black ski mask and stocking. Myers was today charged with attempted murder, grievous harm, use of deadly means of harm, and keeping a firearm with a license. He was remanded into custody until September 27th.
