The Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) has described its probe into Sunday’s fatal shooting incident in Spanish Town St. Catherine as complex.

It adds that the organisation is getting the full cooperation of the Jamaica Constabulary Force in the parallel probes underway.

Indecom released a statement providing an update and clarity on the investigations so far.

A statement from Indecom identified those killed as Sheldon Daley, Kevron Burrell and Corporal Rohan Williams.

Indecom says neither Daley nor Burrell was in possession of a firearm.

It reports that an off duty police officer witnessed the shooting of Daley, challenged an armed man, and then gave chase to a white Nissan AD wagon in which he and other men fled the scene.

During the chase it is reported that gunshots were fired from both the white Nissan vehicle and the off duty chasing officer.

A traffic accident occurred in which the white Nissan vehicle collided with silver Nissan AD wagon at the junction of Brunswick Avenue and jobs lane.

Indecom says following the crash, further shots were discharged by police officers; the full facts of which are still being investigated.

At the crash scene, it was discovered that both Corporal Williams, who was in the white Nissan AD wagon, and Kevron Burrell, who was in the silver AD wagon, had suffered gunshot wounds.

Both died from those wounds.

Three other civilians who were in the silver Nissan AD wagon were seriously injured.

Indecom says the three men in the white Nissan AD wagon were all off duty police officers attached to the JCF Mobile Reserve.

The two surviving officers were detained.

One of the officers Corporal Kirk Frazer absconded while in detention and is being actively sought by the JCF in this matter.

Indecom explains that the second officer is in police custody. It is confirmed that the white Nissan AD wagon is a police service vehicle assigned to the mobile reserve.

The car contained the ​two sets of registration plates, a third set was attached to the front and rear of the car;  police vehicle log book for one set of the plates found inside the car; a detachable police blue emergency light; and five firearms, of which three have been identified as police service glock weapons.

According to Indecom, the two surviving police officers from the white Nissan AD wagon, were on bail to the Circuit Court on two different murder charges.

Indecom says it is probing precisely how the three men lost their lives and who was responsible, the status of the charged officers and why they were not suspended from full police duty.

It states that a report has already been requested from the Commissioner of Police to address this matter; to establish how these officers were able to secure a police service vehicle, police guns and ammunition to embark on this incident;

It’s also to determine how Corporal Kirk Frazer was able to escape from custody having been detained at the scene and to establish the ownership of all the firearms recovered in the white Nissan AD wagon.

Indecom is asking anyone who witnessed or has any information regarding this incident to contact its office via the incident tip line at 888-991-5555 or via whatsapp at 876-553-5555.
