Ryan McCulloch Walks from Attempted Murder Charge

Another man has walked free after his case collapsed in the High Court. Nearly two years after being charged with attempted murder of a man and a minor, twenty-three-year-old Ryan McCulloch is now a free man. The victims, Harrison Parks and his then-sixteen-year-old cousin, refused to testify against their alleged shooter in front of Justice Derick Sylvester. The trial was set to begin on Tuesday, but the Crown’s efforts to get the victims to testify, including four visits, were unsuccessful. As a result, the prosecutor had to enter a nolle prosequi, dropping the two counts of attempted murder against McCulloch. The shooting incident occurred on Valentine’s Day, February fourteen, 2023, at the corner of Edwin Parks Avenue and Billy Webb Street in the Lords Bank area. Parks was shot in the right thigh, and his cousin was shot in the abdomen. Around 8:30 PM, Parks, the intended target, was walking on Edwin Parks Avenue when a grey car drove by, and an occupant opened fire. The motive for the shooting remains unknown. Police reported that Parks refused to cooperate with their investigation, and his cousin stated she couldn’t recognize the shooter and wouldn’t be able to identify him again. McCulloch, who lived in the Lords Bank area at the time, now resides in Cayo.
