Two men are now before the court in the brutal April eleventh attack on Lionel Nigel Logan, and police say the case is tightening. Today, twenty-one-year-old Brandon Christian Villamil joined co-accused Akeem Ferguson after being charged with attempted murder and related offenses. He was denied bail and remanded to prison until mid-June. Investigators say Logan was stabbed and then shot during a confrontation on Henry Street in Ladyville before his attackers fled. Despite his injuries, Logan identified Ferguson as one of his assailants. Now, with a second suspect charged, authorities appear to be closing in on what led to the violent attack, as Logan continues to fight for his life.
