Police: Two Brothers Shoot Same Man 5 Years Apart
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
A 21-year-old Buffalo, New York man has been charged with the
attempted murder of a paraplegic shot by the suspect's brother five
years ago.
According to the Buffalo News, Ronnie Austin is accused of shooting
Jamal Watts, 21, twice in the chest while he sat in his wheelchair
Sunday afternoon.
It was Austin’s brother who put Watts in a wheelchair to begin with,
when Jarmell Austin shot Watts in 2003, the Buffalo News re****ted.
That shooting left Watts a paraplegic and earned Jarmell a 25-year
prison sentence, the paper added.
Sunday's incident was actually the third time Watts has been shot in
the past 12 years.
He was initially listed in critical condition at Erie County Medical
Center but has since been upgraded to fair.
Police said they also charged Ronnie Austin with criminal possession
of a weapon, as he was carrying the gun used to shoot Watts when they
arrested him Tuesday, according to the Buffalo News.
