KINGSTON, Jamaica — Twenty-four-year-old Jordon Gabbidon, a firefighter of Oral Way, Nannyville Gardens in Kingston 3, is scheduled to face the court following an incident in his community on Friday, July 8.

Gabbidon was charged with shooting with intent, illegal possession of firearm, illegal possession of ammunition, and malicious destruction of property.

Reports from the Half Way Tree Police are that about 9:15 pm, a team of officers from the Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigations Branch (C-TOC) were conducting operations in the area when they gathered intelligence about a group of men who were travelling in a Toyota Mark X motor car. The motor car was intercepted on Colonel Harris Path in Kingston 3.

Two men were fatally shot in an ensuing confrontation with the police team when they reportedly exited the vehicle and opened gunfire at the lawmen.

The Toyota Mark X motor car was later searched and the following items were seized:

· Two P-80 pistols

· One Glock 17 pistol

· Three empty magazines

· 17 9mm cartridges

· Two Apple iPhones

· One Samsung cellular phone

Investigators are still working to formally identify the deceased men, however, they are believed to be 27-year-old Orane Lee, otherwise called ‘Indian’ or ‘Pablo’, and Prince Davis, a 26-year-old painter. Investigators believe the men are from Nannyville Gardens, Kingston 3.

Gabbidon, who managed to escape the scene, turned himself in to the police and was pointed out on an identification parade on Monday, July 18. He was later charged following a question-and-answer interview.
