A fatal motorcycle collision in Grange Hill, Westmoreland, last Thursday has claimed the life of an alleged gang member. The deceased, identified as 22-year-old Alex Hill, also known as Romaine, was reportedly a member of the notorious Kings Valley Gang. The incident occurred around 11:25 pm near the Top Geneva intersection, where Hill collided with another motorcycle, resulting in both riders being thrown from their vehicles. Hill sustained severe head and upper body injuries, leading to his unconsciousness, while the other rider suffered a broken hand and other upper body injuries. Both individuals were rushed to the Savanna-la-Mar Public General Hospital, but Hill later succumbed to his injuries. Hill had been linked to multiple criminal activities, including two wounding with intent incidents in 2022, a store robbery in April 2025, and a murder in June 2025. This incident follows the recent killing of another gang member, Ricardo Hemmings, in July. Despite these events, Westmoreland has seen a significant reduction in violent crimes, with a 61% decrease in murders and a 48% reduction in shootings compared to the same period last year.
