Roger Linton, the brother of former gang leader Christopher ‘Dog Paw’ Linton, was fatally shot by the police on Friday night.
Preliminary reports suggest he was killed during an alleged confrontation with the police in St Andrew.
While the shooting has been confirmed, further details have not been ascertained.
More information will be provided later on that development.
Christopher Linton was similarly cut down at the hands of lawmen shortly before 2pm on October 11, 2021, months after being released from prison by the Court of Appeal that overturned his gun conviction.
Officers, acting on information, said they intercepted a vehicle in which armed men were believed to be travelling in Elletson Flats, St Andrew.
Upon arrival, the lawmen commanded that the vehicle stop. Police reports at the time said Christopher Linton alighted from the vehicle, opening fire at the police. The gunfire was returned and Linton was shot.
He was taken to a nearby medical facility, where he succumbed to his injuries.
