SSP McGregor says a strong police presence remains in the area.
Meanwhile, sleuths are seeking four people they believe can assist them in the investigation. They are: Mitchroy Grant, otherwise called ‘Biggs’; Rushard Cooke, otherwise called ‘Irons’; Shamar Bernard, otherwise called ‘Shampoo’; and a man known only as ‘Gangsta Ras’.
The police have given the men until 5:00 pm on Friday, December 18, to make contact with the Montego Bay police.
