The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is reporting that one of St Catherine’s most wanted men was captured in dramatic fashion the Cayman Islands last Friday.
He has been identified as Rudolph Shaw, otherwise called ‘Boxer’ or ‘Boxa’.
Shaw was captured in the George Town area about 12:30 p.m. during a targeted operation by the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) following collaboration between Jamaican law enforcement.
Reports in the Cayman Islands are that officers from the Firearms Response Unit travelling in a marked service vehicle approached a vehicle with two occupants, one of whom was the wanted man.
The two men attempted to evade the lawmen and rammed into the police vehicle, causing their own vehicle to become disabled. Police captured Shaw, but the other man escaped on foot.
Shaw, according to the JCF, was previously pursued in Jamaica by the Joint Anti-Gang Task Force (JAGTF) and other police units, but managed to elude capture.
After pursuing several lines of investigation, in addition to boosting public awareness through social media publications, information was received that Shaw was in the Cayman Islands. This was a collaborative process, which ultimately led to his capture.
Shaw is wanted in connection with multiple murders and several incidents of shootings in St Catherine, and is considered to be one of the most wanted men in both police divisions in the parish.
