(RCIPS) The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) is now in a position to name the teenager who was shot dead on Saturday evening (January 3) at the car park exit of Shir Reynolds Nightclub. He was 17-year-old, Jerome Christopher Alexander Russell of George Town.
Shortly after 10pm the 911 Emergency Communications Centre received a report of gunshots in the vicinity of the nightclub. Police and medical personnel attended the location and found that the teenager had been fatally shot. A second 22-year-old victim subsequently attended the Cayman Islands hospital with a gun shot wound. The second victim remains under medical supervision.
“This is a tragic incident which has resulted in the loss of a very young life, and society has begun to feel the effects of this heinous crime,” said Detective Inspector Kim Evans, who is leading the investigation. “We need to hear from anyone who has information which could help this investigation. Even if your information seems trivial, it could be the piece of the puzzle that we are looking for.”
An exclusion zone has been established around the crime scene and a wider area which may hold important evidence. This area remains restricted to pedestrians and vehicles at this time.
Anyone who can help with the investigation is asked to contact detectives on 949-4222 or a number of dedicated cell phones; 926-1773, 925-7240, 926-3975 or 925-6761.
People can also call Crime Stoppers on 800-8477 (TIPS). All persons calling Crime Stoppers remain anonymous, and are eligible for a reward of up to $1,000, should their information lead to an arrest or recovery of property/drugs. | | | | Reads : 1547 |
