ST ANDREW, Jamaica — After weeks on the run, a 29-year-old man wanted by the police for the alleged chopping murder of his former partner and the wounding of her teenage daughter surrendered to the St Andrew North police on Monday.
The suspect, Ricardo ‘Crow’ McCarty, turned himself in at the Lawrence Tavern Police Station in the company of a relative. He was later transferred to the Constant Spring Police Station, where he is now being detained.
Head of the St Andrew North Police Division, Superintendent Randy Sweeney, confirmed the surrender and welcomed the development. He also urged members of the public to continue cooperating with the police by providing information on wanted individuals, illegal firearms and criminal gangs.
McCarty was featured on the police’s Wanted Wednesday campaign on December 3 and was being sought in relation to the October 21 killing of Sashana Shaw and the wounding of her teenage daughter during a violent attack at their home in Rose Hill, St Andrew.
Investigators said McCarty, Shaw’s former partner, had been evading the police since the incident. Shaw was laid to rest on November 30.
Police reports state that Shaw was at her two-bedroom concrete house with her three children when she went outside and was attacked. The attacker was allegedly armed with a machete and was lying in wait in her yard. Shaw was reportedly chopped several times to the upper body and ran back inside her house, calling for help.
Her teenage daughter reportedly came to her assistance and was struck in the head with the machete, sustaining a chop wound. She has since been treated and released from hospital.
Shaw’s body was later found partially naked along a riverbed.
McCarty had been listed among several men wanted by the St Andrew North Police Division for serious crimes. Investigations into the murder and wounding are continuing
