The killing of yet another child has lifted the spine-chilling murder count in St James to 296 since the start of the year, leaving many residents paralysed with fear as it would appear that the police are powerless to stop the marauding gangsters, who continue their rampage with impunity.
The latest victim is 15-year-old Jahiem Dushard of a Glendevon address. According to residents, he was shot and killed as he slept in his bed. Distraught family members say they are unaware of him being involved in any conflict.
"The area has been quite tense in recent weeks, with a number of shootings. Just last week, a mother and her 11-month-old baby were shot just down the road on Blood Lane," a resident told The Gleaner. "Things are out of control, people are afraid to walk the streets."
Prior to Dushard's death yesterday, there were several shooting incidents on Sunday, which resulted in two deaths. An unidentified man was shot dead on Rough Lane shortly before daybreak; and at approximately 9:30 a.m., Brian 'Bigga' Lewis of a Glendevon address was cornered and executed gangland-style in the bus park in downtown Montego Bay.
According to eyewitnesses, Lewis, who was out on bail after being recently charged with two counts of murder, had no chance of escaping his attackers, as they surrounded him from several directions with guns blazing. After he was killed, one of his attackers reportedly did a quick search of his body, but it is unclear if anything was taken from him. more
