ST JAMES, Jamaica — Following the death of community resident Latoya Bulgin during an alleged confrontation with a member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) on Sunday, residents of Granville have blocked the roads in the community.

Residents used old appliances, trees and other objects to block several intersections in the community and have lit fires in some of these areas.

The JCF and a team from the Jamaica Fire Brigade are now working to clear the blocked roadways.

Residents are furious at the woman’s death after she was shot fatally by a member of the police.

Bulgin was driving a group of people to participate in a protest when the incident took place. Captured on CCTV footage, she was shot while seated behind the steering wheel of a Toyota Voxy in the community square. She later succumbed to her injuries while undergoing treatment at hospital.
