Seven-year-old Jeremiah Gustave, who was shot to his head eight months ago has succumbed to his injuries.
Then six, Jeremiah was sitting beside his mother, as she operated her food vending stall at the corner of Charles Street Charlestown when he was shot.
The shooter Marlon Wilburg called “Mice Man” was attempting to shot Odel Garnette called “Crab” who escaped unhurt. Both men were arrested but Garnette was subsequently released while Wilburg is on remanded for an attempted murder charge.
After being in the hospital for several months Jeremiah now seven was released from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation into the care of his mother but succumbed to his injuries on Sunday night.
It is likely that the state will move to have Wilburg now charged with murder.
