Twenty-nine-year-old Lico Maxwell, one of St. James’ most wanted men who was recently arrested, is now facing additional charges in relation to an incident in 2022.

Maxwell was initially charged with wounding with intent, two counts of possession of a prohibited weapon, using a firearm to commit a felony, and unauthorized possession of ammunition.

The new charges are two counts of murder and four counts of wounding with intent.

Reports are that at approximately 5:00 PM on Sunday, October 9, 2022, a group of men was sitting at a shop in the community of Back Wood, when armed men traveling in a motor car stopped and exited the vehicle. The men opened gunfire at the group; wounding multiple persons, before escaping.

One man later died at the hospital. Charges in relation to the incident were laid against Maxwell on Friday, November 8, 2024.

He is awaiting his court date.
