WATT TOWN, St Ann — Allicia Wishart buried her mother in December, her sister in January, and now she will have to bury her eldest child.

“Mi can’t go no more; mi tired, mi tired. Oh God, why human being so wicked?… Mi nuh shut mi eyes from it happened. When I tell you that my heart is hurting me, it’s heavy and bleeding,” Wishart cried uncontrollably as she spoke with the Jamaica Observer Thursday.

A day earlier her son, O’Neil “Derron” Watson, was fatally shot during what the police have described as an act of self-defence.

According to the police report, the incident happened about 12:15 am on February 18. It has been classified as assault at common law and police fatal shooting. The report states that a police constable assigned to St James was attacked as he was about to drive away after visiting a friend in Bump, Watt Town, St Ann. The police’s version of events is that the driver’s door was “flung open and a male began pulling him out his car”.

The cop was successfully pulled from the car, the report stated, and while he was on the ground the man “then took up a big stone off the ground” and said, ‘[Expletive deleted] weh yuh a do pon mi turf? Mi a go kill yuh!’”

According to the police report, after the man raised his hand as if he was going to hit the constable with the stone, the cop shot him.

“Out of fear for his life [the constable] pulled his service pistol and discharged two rounds in the direction of the man, who then fell to the ground,” it said.

The cop then sought his colleagues’ help to get the injured Watson to hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival at 2:30 am, the report detailed.

Wishart said she believes her son did not die immediately after he was shot because he made a call to his sister at 12:17 am. She wants answers, but she said the police have been tight-lipped.

“All they said to me was that there was a shooting,” said the grief-stricken mother, a well-known teacher in the community.

Her son lived with her but often went to visit his girlfriend, she said.

“She comes to our house sometimes and he goes to her, and everyone in the community knows that they are together,” said Wishart.

The police constable is said to be from Watt Town.

“I don’t know if the policeman and the girl was in any form of relationship and he went to see her and there was an altercation… All I know is that my son is dead. What makes it hurt the most is that nobody called me to say anything, and even crime scene came and them clean up everything,” said Wishart.

“What a cruel and gruesome act. Derron did not deserve this, and up to now no police or so has said anything to me about what happened to my child,” she added in anguish.

She said her son’s death has rocked the entire community , especially the children who he coached at Watt Town Primary — the school where she teaches.

“Derron was a people person, he coaches the children at the school for sporting activities. Every child in Watt Town was crying yesterday because they love him; he invested in them and took them to the highest level. He got them scholarship for them to be accepted in schools like KC (Kingston College) and Clarendon College and so on because of how good they are in sports. When I tell you people cry like baby for Derron, you should know,” Wishart told the Observer.

She said he had been a wonderful son.

“Derron clean, cook, feed the chickens, and take care of everything around the house; that is the type of son I had. I don’t know how I’m going to manage without him because I could count on him to do anything, and I can’t even get answers about how my child died,” Wishart cried.
