Law enforcers have shot and killed a man at Banbury district in Linstead, St Catherine, the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) confirmed, adding that a gun has been seized.
The deceased is 34-year-old Shaneil Sheldon, otherwise called ‘Bruck Up’ .
He was shot in Banbury during an operation that the JCF said resulted in the discovery of a semi-automatic sub-machine gun, along with six 380 rounds of ammunition. The police did not give any further information.
Sources said police killed Sheldon as they hunt down the perpetrator of a murder that was committed six days earlier in the same community – Banbury.
The 20-year-old victim of Sunday’s murder, Kaleave Thomas, was shot and a stone apparently used to inflict a number of blows to his head, which virtually was covered in blood when the body was discovered.
It is understood that the execution of Thomas has outraged a number of residents who argued that he was quiet and peaceful and did not deserve such tragic end. He did not live in the community of Banbury, but he had been visiting there in recent months since he started dating a well-known social media personality who lives there. He was walking towards her home when he was murdered.
