Kingfish investigators are now in Florida, United States questioning Jamaican gangster and ‘Shower Posse’ member, Anthony ‘Rooster’ Patterson, in connection with a large quantity of ammunition and guns allegedly found at his home there. Brown said preliminary investigation had led Kingfish to believe the find was destined for Jamaica.

“We suspect that the find was heading for Jamaica, where exactly, we do not know as yet, but we know of a fact they were definitely heading to Jamaica,” said Kingfish Spokesman, Inspector Steve Brown.

Brown told the Observer that Patterson was also wanted for questioning in connection with several crimes committed in Jamaica that also included the shooting of a woman in Portmore, St Catherine early last year.

“The woman who was shot was dumped in the Caymanas Cane fields and left to die. However, she was spotted and taken to hospital, but succumbed a month later to her wounds,” Brown said.

Brown said that Kingfish went in search of Patterson after the shooting but did not catch him as he had already slipped out of the country.

According to reports, Patterson – who was recently arrested by US Marshals in Florida, and sent to Jamaica – slipped back into the United States.

Security forces said they discovered in the raid on his house, four handguns, an AK-47 assault rifle, a bulletproof vest and 13,500 rounds of ammunition.
