They were transported to hospital where Allen was\npronounced dead on arrival, while the other man was admitted in serious\ncondition. One Ruger 9mm pistol with nine live rounds was seized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allen, who was again listed in June (formerly listed in\nFebruary this year) among Westmoreland\u2019s ten Most Wanted, was feared by family\nand residents of Bethel Town and its environs, and managed to elude the\npolice\u2019s dragnet on a number of occasions.&nbsp;&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Superintendent Gary McKenzie, Head of the Westmoreland\nPolice, said Allen, who was a renowned gangster, was wanted in Westmoreland for\nseveral murders and at least three shootings, and Bethel Town is now breathing\na sigh of relief, as he wreaked havoc in that community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis person was a very dangerous person within the\nWestmoreland space and he was a renowned gangster who had not only committed\noffences against other persons but even members of his family were very fearful\nof him. The police were on his heels as we carried out numerous operations\ntrying to find him. I believe the community of Bethel Town and certainly the\npersons in the parish are much relieved as a result of what has happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Superintendent McKenzie said of the ten men on the Most Wanted\nlist, the police had captured two of them, and have been relentless in their\nsearch for the other men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere were some persons of interest who were identified; we\nhave taken in about three of them and we continue to search for others. We have\nto say as well that we have taken in a number of persons of interest and\ncriminal suspects, as we strive to capture more of the criminal elements out\nthere,\u201d Superintendent McKenzie said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time ran out on Westmoreland\u2019s Most Wanted, the elusive Dushane Allen, otherwise called, \u2018Nigel\u2019 or \u2018Dasheen\u2019of Bethel Town, Westmoreland, when he was cut down in a hail of bullets during a confrontation with a military team along Long Hill road in St. James on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1387,138,372,34,30,29],"class_list":["post-2540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-dushane-allen","tag-jamaica-constabulary-force","tag-jamaica-defense-force","tag-most-wanted","tag-western-jamaica","tag-westmoreland"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2540"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2542,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2540\/revisions\/2542"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westernmirror.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
