Portmore police have taken a man into custody who was allegedly in the company of three other men involved in the shooting and killing of a popular fisherman at Pigeon Shoot Beach, Portmore, St Catherine on Tuesday morning. The men also stole his fishing boat.
The man who reportedly surrendered to the police has been identified as ‘Prince’ and is one of four suspects implicated in the murder of 35-year-old Tedane Meekle. Meekle, originally from St Thomas but living in Pigeon Shoot district, Portmore, at the time of his death.
Reports indicate that around 9:15 pm, Meekle was asleep when he was awakened by one of his cousins, who informed him that a group of men were attempting to steal his fishing boat from a nearby harbor.
Tedane quickly responded, rushing to the location of his boat and confronting the men.
The assailants opened fire, striking him multiple times before fleeing in Tedane’s white and blue fishing boat.
Authorities were alerted, and upon arrival, Tedane was found with multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
