St Elizabeth murder suspect in police custody
ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica – The St Elizabeth police say a suspect who turned himself in on Monday could be charged soon in connection with the murder of two farmers and the injury of three other people in a shooting incident in North West St Elizabeth last week.
Police believe the shooting resulted from an ongoing feud among blood relatives, dating back to 2008 when a member of the same extended family was killed. Police sources say one of the murder victims, identified as Jason Daley, is the nephew of the alleged shooter.
Reports are that about 9:15 pm on Wednesday, September 2, a group of about eight people were playing dominoes at a shop in Bypass district, New Market, when a gunman approached and opened fire.
The deceased were identified as Joseph Taylor and Jason Daley, both 24 years old and from Bypass. Police say a 33-year-old woman was among the three others who were injured in the incident.
