‘Wrong place, wrong time’: Family of slain music influencer says his death was undeserving

WESTMORELAND, Jamaica – Family members of a disc jock/music influencer killed in a double murder on Jane Mark’s Road, Georges Plain in Frome, Westmoreland on Thursday night, says he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Craig Chambers, otherwise called ‘Gaddis’, was a patron at the party when he was killed along with popular party promoter, Owen ‘Peterkin’ King.

READ: Party promoter, music influencer shot dead at party in Westmoreland

“Him nuh deserve deh death yah. Mi uncle is everything good. Deh man deh nuh have no enemy. Him just did deh a di wrong place, a just music him love. Mi uncle doh trouble people,” a tearful Sabrina Clarke told OBSERVER ONLINE.

Reports from the Westmoreland police are that both victims were patrons at a bar along the roadway where a party was being held when a white Toyota Axio motor car drove up.

Two men armed with handguns then exited the vehicle and opened fire at the men who were standing at the doorway of the bar, hitting them multiple times in their upper bodies.

The victims were both rushed to the Savanna-La-Mar Hospital where they were pronounced dead.

“I’m broken, I’m shock mi just cyah believe that mi uncle die,” Clarke said in disbelief.

Clarke described her uncle as a jovial person, a vibes master, who took his music seriously.

“Him duh him likkle song and suh. Him helpful bad… Mi hear seh a drop the other man drop pan him, and a suh come him get shot and died on the spot,” a distraught Clarke disclosed.

Clarke said parties in Georges Plain will not be the same without her uncle there.

“Party nah guh nice widout him, Gaddis promote everybody party. Anything yuh a keep just call pan Gaddis,” she said.

Meanwhile, Derrick, the father of Chambers told OBSERVER ONLINE that his son was no troublemaker.

“Mi feel ugly, mi feel sad [my son] was a good Perons, no problem just music and life,” the father said in a sombre tone.

“Bwoy it just rough, mi nuh know wah happen to the young yute dem”.

Derrick said gone are the days when he could walk freely on the road as he indicated that crime has been plaguing the community.

“From 6 o’clock you just have to lock in yourself, it just get rough, violent,” he said.

He noted that hunger, poverty and lack of jobs for the youth are factors that are breeding crime.
