A community protest demanding justice for the police shooting of 18-year-old Khaleel Simon is set to take place on Friday, 17 October, outside the Bolans Police Station. The demonstration, initially postponed due to Tropical Storm Jerry, will proceed regardless of weather conditions, according to organizers. The protest aims to seek accountability and transparency in the incident that occurred on Simon’s 18th birthday, which has left the community in shock and mourning. Opposition MP Kelvin “Shugy” Simon, who represents the area, has called on residents to join the rally, emphasizing that the event is not politically motivated but a unified call for justice. He stated, “The family is still grieving, and the community remains traumatized. We must demand answers as to why Khaleel was shot in such a manner.” Police authorities have yet to provide a comprehensive account of the incident, fueling public outrage and calls for clarity. The protest underscores broader concerns about police accountability and the protection of young lives in the community.
