HANOVER, Jamaica — The fatal shooting of a man on McQuarrie Road in Hopewell delayed the start of a peace march in Hanover on Sunday.
Reports are that 21-year-old labourer, Adrian Williams was fatally shot in the face around 3:00 pm. His precise address is not known at this time.
There are few details about the shooting.
The scene was still being processed by the police up to 6:00 pm when the march began.
The starting point for the peace march was changed from McQuarrie Road to Bamboo Drive. Indications are that the shooting was unrelated to the march, which was staged by Hopewell Peace Initiative. Up to 7:00 pm, a meeting of march participants was underway in Hopewell Square.
