HAMILTON, Bermuda (CMC) – A 28-year-old gang member, who fatally shot a physically challenged man as he sat in a bus in 2012 was on Tuesday jailed for life.

Travone Saltus, who was convicted by a Supreme Court jury in March, will spend the next 25 years behind bars before he can apply for parole.The court heard that Lorenzo Stovell, who was paralysed from the waist down, was shot dead as he sat in a minibus parked across the road from a bar in Sandys parish in September 2012. Stovell, 24, was shot four times as he desperately tried to lunge for cover.The jury found Saltus, a member of a gang called Money over Bitches, guilty of murder and using a firearm to commit murder after a two-week trial.One witness, Troy Harris, told police that Saltus confessed to him just a few months after the murder that he had shot Stovell.Harris, who is serving a prison sentence in England for assaulting a female, told investigators that Saltus had done it for “street cred” so that people would not talk down to him.Saltus chose not to take the stand. His co-accused, Zakai Cann, was found not guilty of the same charges.Earlier, Cordova Simons-Marshall, 26, was cleared of being an accessory after the murder and concealing an automatic pistol.
