  • Police Commissioner Urges Businesses to Surrender Cash, Not Risk Their Lives

    Police Commissioner Urges Businesses to Surrender Cash, Not Risk Their Lives

    A deadly armed robbery that claimed the life of a veteran small business owner has prompted Jamaica’s top law enforcement officer to issue a stark, life-saving warning to commercial operators across the country: surrender cash to armed robbers rather than risk a fatal confrontation.

    Police Commissioner Everton Jeffers made the public recommendation in the immediate aftermath of Thursday morning’s shooting that killed 60-year-old Eleazer “Fresshy” Francis, a long-time supermarket owner based in Freeman’s Village. The tragedy unfolded just after 8:30 a.m. along the community’s main road, where Francis ran his daily grocery operation.

    According to initial police accounts, two male suspects pulled up in a silver vehicle before exiting and walking into Francis’s supermarket. Reports indicate a confrontation broke out between the suspects and Francis, ending with the business owner being shot fatally at the scene.

    Speaking to reporters during a press briefing hours after the incident, Jeffers emphasized that life will always carry more value than any amount of money stolen by criminals. When law enforcement officers are not immediately available to intervene, he said, compliance is the only rational choice for business owners facing armed threats.

    “No amount of money costs your life. If you find yourself in a situation like this and there’s no police around, just turn over the money. Your life is more valuable,” Jeffers told reporters. He added that law enforcement would far rather work to solve a completed robbery than investigate a preventable homicide, a sentiment that underscores the gravity of the recent rise in violent armed robberies targeting small businesses.

    Beyond his core warning, Jeffers also shared a practical security tip for merchants: reduce the potential incentive for robbers by limiting the volume of cash stored on business premises, with regular cash drops that clear out registers throughout the day.

    To address growing public safety concerns ahead of the upcoming Carnival holiday, a peak period for local business activity and tourism, Commissioner Jeffers confirmed that police are rolling out expanded security operations nationwide. The enhanced measures will include more frequent foot and vehicle patrols across high-traffic commercial areas, plus the reallocation of additional law enforcement personnel to communities across the island to deter criminal activity and respond faster to incidents.

  • Jeffers Appeals for Help in Solving Potters Drive-By Shooting

    Jeffers Appeals for Help in Solving Potters Drive-By Shooting

    Authorities probing the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Leyandrew Hubbard in Potters are turning to the local community for critical support, saying that information held by local residents could be the key to unlocking a major breakthrough in the case. The violent incident unfolded on Sunday morning, when armed attackers opened fire on their targets from a moving vehicle. Hubbard was killed in the attack, while a second victim — an 18-year-old male — was rushed to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition as of the latest updates.

    Speaking to reporters this Thursday, Police Commissioner Everton Jeffers confirmed that investigative teams are pursuing multiple parallel lines of inquiry to identify and apprehend the perpetrators. Even as active work on the case continues, Jeffers stressed that the investigation’s timeline and ultimate success may hinge on ordinary witnesses stepping forward to share what they observed.

    In a formal public appeal, Jeffers urged anyone living in or passing through the area to come forward with even the most seemingly trivial details about the hours before, during, or after the shooting. Many minor pieces of information that look unimportant to members of the public can add up to critical context that helps detectives connect the dots and solve violent crimes.

    “We are confident that there are people in the community who saw something, heard something, or hold knowledge that could advance this investigation significantly,” Jeffers stated. “Coming forward to share what you know could be the difference that lets us hold those accountable for this violence, and deliver justice for Leyandrew Hubbard and his family.”

  • Police Commissioner to Criminals: ‘We’re Coming for You’

    Police Commissioner to Criminals: ‘We’re Coming for You’

    As the popular Carnival celebration approaches, law enforcement is ramping up its security posture across the country, with the top police official issuing a stark warning to individuals engaged in violent offending. Police Commissioner Everton Jeffers made his tough public remarks during a Thursday press briefing, which came on the heels of a recent spate of deadly shooting incidents that have shaken local communities.

    Jeffers made clear that law enforcement has reached a turning point, and will no longer tolerate criminal elements sowing chaos and intimidation in residential areas. “We are tired of you coming in and driving fear in the community,” the commissioner stated bluntly. “We’re going to turn it around and reverse that fear back to you. We’re coming for you.”

    To deliver on this promise, Jeffers revealed that policing leadership has crafted targeted operational strategies designed to drastically reduce the ability of violent offenders to avoid arrest and prosecution. He emphasized that anyone who chooses to engage in criminal activity during the heightened security period will find escaping law enforcement far harder than in years past. “If you decide that you’re going to come into the net, I want you to know when you come in, it’s not going to be very easy for you to get out,” Jeffers said.

    The commissioner confirmed that stepped-up security operations for Carnival are already underway, with the public expected to see a growing presence of additional uniformed officers and expanded resources deployed across the nation in the coming days. Every available intelligence asset and investigative tool will be brought to bear to track down suspects, take them into custody, and ensure they face judicial consequences for their actions, Jeffers added. In a direct message to criminal actors, he warned: “You don’t go around checking police. You will be getting a visit from us, sir — not long from now.”

    Beyond deploying new resources and strategies, Jeffers also made a public appeal for community participation, stressing that ongoing collaboration between residents and law enforcement remains one of the most critical tools for preventing violent incidents and solving existing cases. He urged all community members to promptly report any suspicious activity they observe to local police to help keep neighborhoods safe during the Carnival period and beyond.
