In a decisive response to a tragic shooting incident in the Linstead community of Commodore, Jamaica, the government has announced a $2 million reward for information leading to the apprehension of those responsible. The attack, which occurred on Sunday evening, resulted in the deaths of five individuals, including a four-year-old child. Prime Minister Andrew Holness, during a community visit on Monday, emphasized the importance of citizen cooperation in bringing the perpetrators to justice. He urged residents to share any relevant information with the authorities, stating that it is both a civic duty and in the community’s best interest. Holness also highlighted the broader context of crime reduction in Jamaica, noting that despite this devastating incident, the country remains 40% below last year’s murder rate. He expressed confidence in the police’s ability to handle the situation, drawing parallels to the Cherry Tree Lane massacre in Clarendon, where eight people were killed. The Prime Minister assured that the police would adopt a proactive and enduring strategy to prevent reprisals and maintain security in the affected area. Reports indicate that the attackers, some disguised as police officers, stormed a family yard around 8:45 pm, opening fire and injuring nine people, five of whom succumbed to their injuries.
