Suspect held in St Elizabeth double murder

SANTA CRUZ, St Elizabeth – 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.

He has been identified as Omar Daley, otherwise called ‘Fireball’.

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 at 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, a 24- year-old farmer of Bypass and Jason Daley, a 24-year-old farmer also of Bypass. Police say three others, including a 33-year-old woman, were injured in the incident.
