Quick Action by Cops Nabs 5 Suspects in Double Murder

Quick action by police led to the arrest of five men in connection with a double murder in Clarendon Friday.

The murder suspects were nabbed about an hour after two men were shot dead on the Frankfield main road in the north of the parish, about 4:30 Friday, June 26. Two firearms and several rounds of ammunition were also seized.

The dead men have been identified as Jermaine Jones, 33, and Allen Cameron, otherwise called ‘Puss’, both of John’s Hall, Silver Spring, Clarendon. They were reportedly driving along the roadway, when they were pounced upon by armed men travelling in a motor car who opened gunfire hitting them.

The Police were called and preliminary information received was that a white motorcar and a grey motorcar sped from the scene.

About an hour after the incident, five men in two vehicles matching the description of the vehicles seen leaving the scene were intercepted by two police teams. The men, all from St. Catherine were taken into custody and the vehicles seized.

During a subsequent search of the vehicles, a 9mm pistol with an empty magazine and one .40 pistol with magazine containing six .40 live rounds were found.

Their names are being withheld pending further investigations.
