A violent shooting incident occurred in the East Canal district late Thursday afternoon, resulting in serious injuries to a local man with known gang affiliations. Law enforcement authorities confirmed that Jahmy Belgrave, 28, was targeted by gunfire directly outside his residence and required immediate medical evacuation to Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital via police mobile patrol units.
Belgrave maintains an extensive criminal history with documented connections to the George Street Gang, according to police records. His involvement with organized crime dates back to 2015 when, at age eighteen, he faced formal charges related to an armed robbery at Cenies Restaurant. During that previous incident, law enforcement successfully intercepted the suspects and recovered the stolen cash register containing all missing currency.
Criminal investigators are currently pursuing multiple lines of inquiry regarding potential motives behind the targeted attack. The ongoing investigation focuses on determining whether this violence stems from escalating territorial disputes between rival criminal organizations operating within the metropolitan area. Police officials have increased patrol presence in the neighborhood while forensic teams continue processing the crime scene for ballistic evidence and potential witness testimonies.
Hospital authorities have not yet released information regarding Belgrave’s current medical condition following emergency treatment. The community remains alert as law enforcement intensifies efforts to combat gang-related violence that has recently affected several districts across the city.
