HOMICIDE detectives from the Kingston West police division are blaming a bloody battle between gangs based in the volatile Kingston communities of Craig Town and Jones Town for Wednesday’s slaying of Kerron Campbell on Slipe Pen Road.

Campbell, 42, was shot once in the head as he rode his bicycle along the thoroughfare in the vicinity of the National Blood Transfusion Service (Blood Bank).

“He was not a gunman. He was innocent but may have been killed because he lived in one of the warring communities,” a cop on the scene said.

Campbell was a resident of Love Street in Craig Town. He was returning from an errand in downtown Kingston when he was attacked and shot.

His spouse and his 20-year-old daughter Kevine were beside themselves with grief. Campbell’s spouse wailed as she tried to come to grips with the fact that her partner was lying in a pool of his own blood.

The woman hugged, kissed and shook the body. She also wiped his blood all over her body as she called his name.

“A me carry him come here, Clarendon him come from. Him never deserve this, but whoever do it them time will come,” she bawled.
