ST JAMES, Jamaica — The 47-year-old security guard charged in connection with the murder of social media influencer Aneka “Slickianna” Townsend was given bail in the sum of $500,000 when he made an appearance in the St James Circuit Court on Monday afternoon.

He will go back to court on March 6, 2023 for trial.

Rohan “Early B” Rose was charged with misprision of a felony. This means he is accused of knowing about the matter, but failed to notify the authorities.
