In St James, Jamaica, law enforcement officials have published a composite drawing of a suspect linked to a deadly shooting that unfolded earlier this month in the parish’s Somerton District. The fatal attack, which claimed the life of a local auto mechanic, took place on March 5 at a residence on Easy Street in the Bullock Heights neighborhood.
The victim has been formally identified as Rohan Green, who was also known by two local nicknames: ‘Blacks’ and ‘Ockra Bud’. Green worked as an auto repairman and resided at the Easy Street address where the incident occurred.
According to official statements from the Adelphi Police Division, the violence broke out at approximately 11:25 a.m. that Thursday. Green was in the process of repairing vehicles at his home when he was suddenly ambushed by one or more unknown attackers. The assailants opened fire multiple times, striking Green before they fled the scene quickly to avoid capture.
Local residents immediately alerted police to the shooting. When first responders and investigators arrived at the location, they found Green lying motionless on the ground. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso and head, which proved fatal.
Investigators have since worked to build a clearer picture of the attacker, using detailed witness descriptions to generate the official composite sketch now released to the public. St James police are now launching a public appeal for information to help move the case forward.
Authorities are asking any member of the public who has details related to the murder, the suspect’s identity, or the events of March 5 that could assist the investigation to reach out to law enforcement immediately. Tips can be submitted anonymously or directly through several contact channels: the Montego Bay Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB) at 876-953-6191, the independent Crime Stop hotline at 311, the national 119 police emergency line, or any nearby local police station.
