KLANSMAN gang member, Renard ‘Roderick’ Harrison, who has been on the police most wanted list for some time, is dead.

Police said the gang member, who was on the run for several months, was shot and killed in an operation in Cherry Gardens, St Andrew last night.

Full details of the operation are yet to be released.

Harrison was in 2011 arrested in The Bahamas after he tried using false documents to enter that country.

The Bahamian authorities were alerted to his illegal arrival by local police personnel.

He absconded bail.

Police said Harrison was a top lieutenant in the notorious Klansman gang and was wanted for murder and other serious crimes.

The gang has been terrorising residents of Spanish Town and the environs for years.
