A notorious killer, who frequents sections of Sav-la-Mar, and who is wanted for murders and shootings with intent in Westmoreland, has struck again.
The killer, identified by the police as Davion Brown, also known as ‘Balti’ and who frequents Hudson Street, Church Lincoln and Sterling Street in Grange Hill, reportedly gunned down a man on Tuesday, November 14.
His latest victim has been identified as Devon Denton, otherwise called ‘Pongy’, unemployed of Sterling Street, Grange Hill.
According to reports from the communication arm of Jamaica Constabulary Force (CCU), Denton was standing along Lewis Street in Sav, when the accused, known to him as ‘Balti’, approached and shot him several times in the upper body.
Denton was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Detectives say three 9MM spent shells were taken from the scene, but they are yet to establish a motive for the killing.
Brown is also wanted in connection with a daring daylight supermarket shooting in Westmoreland earlier this year.
In a video of the incident released to the public, a man identified as ‘Balti’ was seen following a man around before pumping several shots into him as he moved through an isle in the supermarket.
Meanwhile, as the gun violence continues, another man, a 40-year-oldfish vendor, was shot and wounded in the New Market area of Westmoreland, also on Tuesday.
In this instance, the wounded man was outside a pool bar with other patrons when several shots were heard.
When the shootings stopped, three men, one known by his alias ‘Cow Fox’, was seen walking away from the lane close to the bar on foot armed with guns.
A subsequent check found the vendor suffering from gunshot wounds to the right side of his head.
He was taken to the hospital where he was treated and admitted in serious but stable condition.
