Bail extended for Jaii Frais and Jahvy Ambassador in Big Wall shooting case

Popular podcaster Jaii Frais and music producer Jahvy Ambassador, who are charged in connection with a shooting incident at the Big Wall carnival after-party in April, are scheduled to return to the Gun Court on October 28 for a plea and case management hearing.

Both accused made their first appearance in court yesterday, where their bail was extended.

The content creator, whose real name is Jhaedee Richards, is charged with wounding with intent, shooting with intent, and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Meanwhile, producer Jahvy Ambassador, whose given name is Jahvel Morrison, is charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, wounding with intent, and using a prohibited weapon to commit a felony.

The charges against the two stem from a shooting incident during the entertainment event on April 12 at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre in St Andrew, where three people were shot.

According to the police, about 9:30 p.m., a physical altercation developed between patrons at the event.

The dispute reportedly escalated, leading to an exchange of gunfire between two individuals.

In the aftermath, three people reportedly sustained gunshot injuries.

They were transported to hospital for treatment.

Jaii Frais, who was said to be one of the injured persons, was later treated and released into police custody, while a third person remained hospitalised.

Further, the police reported that two firearms were seized in connection with the incident.

Morrison was also taken into custody.

Richards is represented by attorneys Isat Buchanan and D'ondre Buchanan, while King's Counsel Peter Champagnie and attorneys Sayeed Bernard and Richard Lynch represent Morrison.
