According to a relative of the father of two, O’Connor was last seen in the Cheesefield area of Linstead, St Catherine, where he went to visit his wife of six years, who is a British citizen.

The relative said that O’Connor, otherwise called “Fashion”, is not only responsible for his two children, but also his father, who is visually impaired.

“Him going missing this long has been affecting the entire family, friends, his customers and members of the community drastically. Everybody is seeking closure of what could have gone wrong leading to this,” the relative said, adding that reports of O’Connor’s disappearance have been made to the police in Linstead and Half Way Tree in St Andrew.

“He is very artistic, hence always exploring new designs to decorate his barbershop, his room or some unique style or design to do in the hair of his customers,” added the family member.

“He is entertaining to people around him because he is always talking and bragging about how he is the best at what he does or saying something that will cause people around him to laugh. Some would always say him a real sample man,” continued the relative.

The family is asking anyone with information regarding O’Connor’s whereabouts to contact the nearest police.
