The Jamaica Constabulary Force is reporting that Rudolph Shaw, otherwise called ‘Boxer’ or ‘Boxa’, who is considered to be one of the most wanted men in St Catherine, is now officially charged with murder.
In addition, Shaw – who was recently deported form Cayman Islands – has been charged with wounding with intent stemming from an incident on Wednesday, September 29, 2021.
The police report that about 2:45 p.m., a man, who was later identified as 59-year-old Wilfred O’Connor, a carpenter of St John’s Road in St Catherine, was standing in his yard when a Nissan AD Wagon motor car drove up with armed men aboard.
The men exited the vehicle and opened gunfire hitting him.
The police say the gunmen then drove off to another section of the community where they fired several shots hitting four men who were standing along a roadway.
The police were summoned and all five persons were assisted to hospital, where O’Connor was pronounced dead and the others admitted in serious but stable condition.
A collaborative effort led to the arrest of Shaw on Friday, July 8 in the George Town area during a targeted operation by the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service and Jamaican law enforcement.
Shaw was interviewed in the presence of his attorney on Monday, after which he was charged with the offences stem from the gun attack in St John’s Road.
His court date is being finalised, the police said.
