The ex-boyfriend of late dancehall deejay Keshan has been charged with murder.

The man has been identified as 32- year-old Toni Martin, who was arrested after two years of investigations by police in the St Catherine South Police Division.

His arrest was made at the Hundred Man Police Station in Portmore, St Catherine, after a question and answer session in the presence of his attorney. A court date has yet to be determined.

Police reports indicate that Keshan (given name Keneisha Brown) was involved in a heated dispute with Martin on July 20, 2019 when she was shot and killed.

An altercation ensued between them at Sharper Lane in Old Harbour, St Catherine, and the singjay stabbed him three times. He retaliated by shooting her once to the upper body.

She later died at hospital while the man was treated and sent home.

In an interview with the Jamaica Observer last November, Keshan’s mother, Ilene Wright-Brown, counteracted the police’s report and claimed that the deejay did not attack Martin.

Since her debut in 2013, Keshan released several songs including Bubble Up Your Body, Don’t Lie, Kill or Die, and The Goods featuring Vybz Kartel.
