According to The Jamaica Star
Popular deejay Ninja Man, whose real name is Desmond Ballentine, was denied bail when he appeared in the Corporate Area Gun Court on Thursday.
The deejay, who is charged with shooting with intent, illegal possession of a firearm, murder and conspiracy to murder, has been in custody since his arrest last week.
Ballentine was charged after an incident on March 17, in which 20-year-old Ricardo Johnson, otherwise called Ricky Trooper, was shot dead in the Lower Mall Road community.
Reports are that at 11:15 a.m., Johnson was sweeping his yard in the company of a friend when a grey car drove up. An argument developed between Johnson's friend and one of the men in the car, and the men then drove off. The car later returned and the occupants opened fire, hitting Johnson, who died at the Kingston Public Hospital.
After his arrest, the deejay denied the accusations. He is to return to court on April 7.
