UPDATE: Police name person of interest in death of woman believed to be social media influencer

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica – The St James police have named a Hanover man as a person of interest in their probe into the death of a woman, believed to be a popular social media personality, whose body was fished from the sea in Reading, St James on Friday morning.

The police are asking Rushane Patterson of Prosper, Hanover to turn himself over at the Freeport Police Station by 5:00 pm on Saturday to assist with their investigations.

“We have Rushane Patterson of Prosper, Hanover as a person of interest in this investigation and we are asking him to turn himself in to the police by 5:00pm,” commander of the St James Police Division, Senior Superintendent of Police Vernon Ellis told OBSERVER ONLINE.

SSP Ellis also added that a motor vehicle has been seized in relation to the police probe in the matter.

“A series of operations have been conducted this morning in a neighbouring parish and a vehicle was recovered,” he revealed.

He added that the police have an idea who the deceased woman is but are awaiting formal identification.

“No one has come forward to identify her as yet, but we have an idea of who she is. We are just awaiting the formal identification,” he said.

The woman’s body was found face down in waters in Reading and the police were alerted. She has a number of tattoos which are providing investigators with clues about her identity.
