DISGRUNTLED RESIDENTS of Elgin Town, Hanover, blocked a section of the North Coast Highway on Tuesday to protest the police shooting of a man who recently returned to Jamaica from the Cayman Islands.
Lineka Williams, 28, was reportedly shot and injured by the police last Friday night.
The injured man’s mother, Benieve Jowrey, said that her son, who resides in the Cayman Islands but returned to the island late last year to finalise divorce arrangements, was not involved in any crime.
Williams’ mother said that her son had just left her yard to attend a wake close to the house when he was shot by the police.
The police said that shortly after 11 p.m. on Friday, they received reports that men were at a wake in the community.
