Police charged former Ski Mask gang member with Salt Spring triple murder.
MONTEGO BAY, ST JAMES, Jamaica – On Saturday, November 25, 2023, law enforcement authorities in St James made a significant breakthrough in their investigation into the Salt Spring gun attack, a tragic incident that claimed the lives of two young boys from Chetwood Memorial Primary and a man from Flower Hill.
The authorities took a major step forward in the case by formally charging Travis Tummings, a former member of the notorious ‘Ski Mask’ gang. Tummings, who was arrested on November 9, 2023, was positively identified as the shooter in an identification parade held last Saturday.
As the evidence against him mounted, Tummings now faces multiple charges, including three counts of murder, possession of a prohibited weapon, and using a firearm to commit a felony. The authorities are determined to hold him accountable for his alleged actions and seek justice for the victims and their families.
It is important to note that Tummings hails from the Flower Hill area, but he is known to frequent the Barrett Town vicinity in St. James as well. The police apprehended him during a carefully planned sting operation in Barrett Town, which ultimately led to his arrest on November 9, 2023.
This development, in this case, brings a glimmer of hope to the community affected by this tragedy. The residents of Montego Bay and St. James stand united in their quest for peace and justice as they strive to build a safer and more secure environment for themselves and future generations.
The law enforcement agencies involved in this investigation are dedicated to unearthing the truth, ensuring that those responsible for such heinous acts are held accountable under the full extent of the law. The commitment and determination displayed by the authorities underscore their unwavering commitment to providing justice for the victims and fostering a sense of security within the community.
