A somber yet determined crowd gathered outside Police Headquarters on American Road this Friday, united in their call for justice in the tragic death of Kahleel Simon. Family members, friends, and supporters of the late teenager stood together, holding placards and chanting “Justice for Kahleel,” as they demanded accountability in the ongoing investigation. Among the protesters was St. Mary’s South MP Kelvin “Shugy” Simon, who has been a vocal advocate for transparency and justice in the case. The MP emphasized that his presence was not politically motivated but a personal stand in solidarity with the grieving family. “An innocent young man, full of promise, cut down in the prime of his life by those sworn to protect and serve,” Simon stated. “We will not be silent. We will not allow this injustice to be buried beneath bureaucracy and lies.” The protest, marked by its peaceful nature, is part of the family’s relentless campaign for answers and justice. They are urging authorities to suspend the officer involved in the fatal shooting pending the outcome of the investigation. Simon reiterated the family’s resolve, saying, “This is about justice—plain and simple. We will not stop until Kahleel’s family gets the answers they deserve.” The community’s unwavering support highlights the broader call for accountability and reform in law enforcement practices.
