Police officers were called to the scene, and acting on information received, members of the police force searched a home in Cotton Ground where they found Delano bleeding from a wound in his foot.
He was transported to the Alexandra Hospital where he was treated and remained for a few days. He was later released.
Later, this media house understood that another male showed up at the hospital with what was suspected to be a bullet graze to his arm. Subsequently it was alleged that his story was that he received the injury at his workplace.
Officers continued their investigation and on Friday, May 17, 2013 Delano was taken back into police custody and was charged for the offense.
He was the lone person to be remanded to prison for the crime. The second suspect was never charged.
