St Andrew, Jamaica — A reputed gang leader from the Corporate Area, wanted in connection with a triple murder and other serious crimes, was arrested Monday on the grounds of a St Andrew school, where preparations were under way for an Easter Monday event.
According to the police, the 33-year-old suspect was taken into custody without incident. He was allegedly found in possession of a loaded Glock 9mm pistol, modified with an “invisi-switch” plate to function as an automatic weapon—a configuration commonly referred to as a “Chip Glock.”
Also seized were two magazines, including one transparent, containing a total of 50 rounds.
The arrest was carried out by a police team that swooped down on the school grounds during event setup. The suspect was reportedly apprehended in the presence of several individuals.
Commander of the St Andrew North Police Division, Acting Superintendent Randy Sweeney, identified the man as a key figure in the Grants Pen-based gang and a major “violence producer” in the area.
“He is a suspect in a triple murder case and a shooting incident. Several operations were conducted to locate him,” said Sweeney. “We are encouraging suspects, wanted individuals, and persons of interest to surrender peacefully and not to challenge the police.”
The suspect is believed to be involved in the April 1, 2022 triple murder on Morgan Lane, Grants Pen, and is also reportedly wanted in connection with the May 14, 2024 murder of Oshane ‘Badz’ Barclay on Rilla Avenue, Kingston 8.
Police have indicated that formal charges will be laid shortly.
Sweeney emphasized that law enforcement will continue to maintain a firm stance against criminal elements, especially those attempting to disrupt the peace in the St Andrew North Division.
Meanwhile, police are appealing to the public for assistance in locating three additional wanted men: Emar ‘Bully Beef’ Grinmam, Andre Lewis, alias ‘Bigga’, and Oshane Blackwood.
