OSHANE “Briefy” Henry, who was on the Clarendon police wanted list in connection with the 2020 fatal shooting of Damion Lewis in the presence of his mother, was on Tuesday convicted for that murder.

Henry, who was 23-years-old at the time of the crime, was on Tuesday found guilty of murder and illegal possession of firearm after a jury trial before Supreme Court Judge Justice Courtney Daye in the Clarendon Circuit Court.

The allegations outlined by Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Malike Kellier and Crown Counsels Sashakay Henderson and Nyron Wright are that Henry on Sunday, November 14, 2020, along with other men, went in search of Lewis on the pretext that he had stolen a ‘bike’.

According to Henry, Lewis and another man had stolen the bike and pushed it elsewhere but it had been returned.

A brother of Lewis, who Henry made the complaint of the stolen bike to, said he told Lewis to go with the men and “defend his name”.

He said Lewis and the men went up to a house on Stinger Lane in the area.

According to the brother, it was not long after he saw Lewis running toward him holding his hand and complaining that one of the men had hit him on the hand and he was “going to make a report to the police”.

The brother said he was at his spouse’s house, two minutes away from his own house when he heard “two explosions sounding like gunshots” coming from the direction where he lived.

He said upon being told that his sibling had been shot he ran to his house where he saw Henry coming out of the yard and putting a gun in his right pants pocket. He said as Henry entered a vehicle which was waiting in the vicinity he said to him, “Briefy, yuh win man”.

According to the dead man’s sibling, the driver of the car who was also facing murder charges, but has since died, shouted “brawling” before driving off.

He said upon running into his yard he saw Lewis laying on the ground at the front of his house.

The said upon entering the front door of the house he saw blood and spent shells on the floor of the room where their mother was lying on the bed. He said the back door had been kicked open and was hanging by the hinges.

Henry on December 11 the same year was taken in to the May Pen police by his attorney.

After being charged he reportedly said, “Moody go ova di people dem yawd wid gun go beat up mi sista an t’ief wah bike. Mi tell mi sista fi go station go report it; mi nuh know wah happen afta dat.”

A post-mortem conducted in January of 2021 on Lewis’s body said the cause of death was due to “injuries to the vital organs” and “multiple gunshot wounds”.

Henry is now awaiting sentencing.
