St James man named person of interest in cousin’s murder
ST JAMES, Jamaica – The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is issuing a public appeal for information concerning the murder of 40-year-old Omar Nichols, otherwise known as ‘Ras’, that occurred about 10:45 am, on Saturday, July 15 in St James.
Nichols, who is from the Top Hill community in Mount Carey, was shot and killed outside his home.
Investigators have identified a cousin, Omoy Largie, otherwise called ‘Not Nice’, also a resident of Top Hill in the parish, as a person of interest in the case. The preliminary information suggests that the murder stemmed from a dispute with both parties.
Largie is being urged to turn himself in at the Freeport Police Station by midday, Sunday, July 16.
“We are appealing to the community to help us in this investigation by sharing any information you may have about Largie’s whereabouts or the incident by calling Crime Stop at 311, NIB Tip Line at 811 or the nearest police station,” the JCF said.
