A former Partick Thistle goalkeeper has been granted bail after appearing in court charged with culpable homicide following the death of Glasgow barman Daniel Colrain, pictured above.
Luis Cameron, 19, appeared privately at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Thursday (8 October) in connection with the death of the 21-year-old following an incident in Royal Exchange Square.
Cameron, from Paisley, is charged with culpable homicide and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Court papers allege that Cameron punched Daniel on the head during an incident in the city centre in the early hours of Sunday, 4 October.
It is alleged that the blow rendered Daniel unconscious, causing him to fall and strike his head on the ground. Daniel sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital following the disturbance, which was reported to police at around 3.05am.
He died in hospital the following day.
A second charge alleges that Cameron attempted to pervert the course of justice following the incident.
Prosecutors allege that he left Royal Exchange Square and later attended the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, where he claimed he had injured his hand by striking a wall.
It is further alleged that Cameron booked a flight from Glasgow to Dubai on 4 October and went to Glasgow Airport in an attempt to avoid being arrested and prosecuted.
Cameron made no plea during Thursday’s hearing.
He was represented by solicitor Paul Sweeney and was committed for further examination by Sheriff Helen McGinty.
He was granted bail and is expected to appear in court again at a later date.
Cameron came through the youth system at Partick Thistle and signed a modern apprenticeship with the Firhill club in 2024.
The goalkeeper was named among the substitutes for the Jags’ first team and also featured in pre-season matches before spending much of last season on loan at West of Scotland League side Drumchapel United.
Partick Thistle confirmed in May that Cameron would leave the club at the end of his contract. The club said at the time that he had been a regular for Drumchapel during his loan spell.
Daniel worked at The Old Smiddy in Cathcart, where colleagues have described him as a warm and kind young man who had become a much-loved figure among staff and customers.
The pub said it had been left “completely heartbroken” by his death.
In a tribute, colleagues said Daniel had built close friendships during his three years at the southside bar and knew many regular customers by name.
They said: “To know Daniel was to experience his warmth and kindness firsthand.”
A fundraising appeal has since been established to support his family with funeral and memorial costs.
Police Scotland previously confirmed that another 19-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the disturbance and later released pending further enquiries.
A separate 21-year-old man also sustained minor injuries during the incident. A 20-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with that alleged assault and is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.
Police said enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident remain ongoing.
