KINGSTON, Jamaica — In a significant development following a brutal weekend shooting, a 33-year-old man has voluntarily surrendered to law enforcement authorities in connection with the deadly Denham Town incident that resulted in the tragic deaths of a young father and his three-year-old son.
Dwayne Bowen, also known by the aliases Blacks, Sassa Frass, and Jubi, presented himself to the Hunts Bay police station. A resident from the Guys Hill district of St. Catherine, Bowen formerly lived at 47 Rose Lane in Kingston, according to police records.
The surrender comes as investigators continue to probe the horrific early Saturday morning attack at a residential property on Nelson Street. The shooting claimed the life of three-year-old Zaylon Pinnock and mortally wounded his 31-year-old father, Kerrio Pinnock. An additional child sustained injuries during the violent encounter but survived.
Preliminary investigative reports indicate that the tragedy unfolded shortly after 1:00 am when armed assailants approached the location, which also houses a commercial establishment. The gunmen allegedly disguised themselves as customers before opening fire on the family members present at the property. Emergency services transported the victims to a nearby medical facility, where young Zaylon was pronounced dead upon arrival. His father subsequently succumbed to his grievous wounds despite medical intervention.
Jamaican authorities have confirmed that active investigations remain ongoing as they work to establish the precise circumstances and motivations behind this devastating act of violence that has shocked the local community.
