Update: Exotic dancer killed in Mandeville identified

MANCHESTER, Jamaica — A woman who was gunned down in Mandeville on Saturday morning has been identified.

Relatives named her as Dezesha Falconer, otherwise called ‘Drama’, a resident of Burnt Savannah in St Elizabeth. Falconer was reportedly an exotic dancer.

Preliminary reports are that about 6:00 am, the police were called to a service station on Main Street where the woman’s body was found face down. The area was cordoned off.

Police theorise that the woman and a man were walking from a nightclub when upon reaching the service station they were attacked and shot.

The injured man sustained gunshot wounds to his upper body. Police theorise that the man was the target of the attack as he was also shot during a shooting incident in 2022 in Greenvale. Two men were killed in that incident.
