The Coral Reef resident, whose identity is being withheld because he is a juvenile, appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Helen Jones shortly after the incident to have the murder charges read to him.
His mother accompanied him.
He was not required to enter a plea at the time and his case was adjourned to October 30, so that he could face a Juvenile Panel.
However, the matter was set aside until November 10. The teen, who was represented by attorney Brian Hanna, will have to remain behind bars until that time.
When he returns to court, he is expected to be formally charged with murder and causing grievous harm.
Carey, a Freeport resident, was Grand Bahama’s 9th homicide victim.
Police found his body in a Buick Century car with a gunshot wound to the upper body.
The teen had reportedly turned himself into the police.
The 17-year-old, who was also charged with another teen boy on an assault with a deadly weapon charge for a separate matter back on October 8, also had that matter adjourned to November 10.
According to police, the additional charges derived from a complaint made by the mother of a juvenile, who claimed that her son was assaulted on October 6.
The teen was reportedly walking with a friend near his home on Cabot Drive when the accused along with other boys approached them.
The complainant’s friend was allegedly hit by one of the accused men. A fight later ensued and he ran away, but not before the two juveniles allegedly pulled out a silver handgun and started brandishing it.
The other teen was remanded to the Simpson Penn School for Boys in New Providence until November 10.
