KINGSTON, Jamaica — Law enforcers say they have not had any breakthroughs with their investigations into the brutal killing of a pregnant woman who was shot dead in downtown Kingston last month.
The deceased, 26-year-old Shantiva Griffiths, was killed at the intersection of Orange and Heywood streets on her way home from work.
Head of the Kingston Central Police Division, Superintendent Beresford Williams, told OBSERVER ONLINE that investigations are still being conducted into the killing.
