20 year old Elwin Bardalez was today charged in court for the attempted murder of senior traffic officer John Rivero Sr. Rivero was shot at 5 am on Sunday as he attempted to enter his home at the corner of Logwood and Lakeview Streets. Police say they were after Rivero’s gun.
Bardalez was arraigned for attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and dangerous harm. In court, he told the Magistrate he knew nothing about the shooting. Still, bail was denied and his next court appearance is on May 13th.
It’s of note that Bardalez was just released from jail on March 25th, 5 days before he allegedly shot Rivero. Rivero meanwhile remains hospitalized in a stable condition.
