Alleged Klansman Gang leader Andre “Blackman” Bryan and his supposed sharpshooter bodyguard Tareek “CJ” James have been pronounced guilty of engineering the murder of an individual called ‘Outlaw’ in Lauriston, St Catherine in 2017.

The November 2017 murder of Lauriston resident “Outlaw” was allegedly planned by Bryan who gave the order for him to be eliminated.

Earlier in the trial, a relative of the murdered man, whose real name was Patrick Tulloch, testified that on November 2, 2017, she received a telephone call informing her that he had been killed. She told the court that she attended the funeral which was an open casket affair and that she was also present at the burial.

She said Tulloch had gotten the moniker ‘Outlaw’ after an incident in which his mother had beat him as a child for leaving the yard. She said he jumped through a glass window in attempting to evade the beating, leading someone to remark “a mussi outlaw dat”. The name, she said, stuck.
